Oregonians need to look on the bright side. Californians won't be moving up there if the place is burned to a crisp. Looks like they are well on their way to that end.

You got it wrong. From my experience, the only Californians that would move up to Oregon are likely be conservative patriots, that would more than likely stand to the right of you.

Oregon California, and Washington, can stand all the conservative voters they can get.

In any event, here's hoping for a weather change, low winds to our brothers in Oregon. Oregon is a great, beautiful state. Central Oregon in particular is a fantastic place, and I wish everyone up there the very best of luck.

Actually, the economy of Oregon started to crumple two years ago last Oct/Nov.. That kept Kalis from going to Oregon and started a reversal of people moving from Oregon to Kali.

In our annual fall trek to the Oregon country in Oct 2000, we ran into a lot of Kali/Oregonians returning to Kali or just moving to Kali for the jobs that Oregon didn't have.

A lot of jobs and in particuliar the heavy construction jobs companies were the first to feel the upcoming economic eco recession. This was due to the anti business, anti capitalism and watermelon behavior of the Governor and others in power in Oregon.

Then our power crisis in Kali drove up their electrical rates, and this wiped out a lot smaller companies and jobs.
The flow back into Kali started in ernest in the early part of 2001. After 9/11, their economy tanked, and the envirals agenda/desire of getting rid of a lot of people in Oregon came true.
