The entire freaking state is sanely, sensibly blue ... except, that is, for THIS @#$%ing place, and Tacoma. The only way I could conceivably be more out of place, socially, would be by walking the streets, day and night, in a full-body ALF suit. :)
I know.......and you have my complete and total sympathy.
