Apologies to all I offended.

But, y’all have to admit we never hear about the real people living outside Portland. It’s good to know you’re out there.

btw; how are the mosquitoes ?

I don't know about Oregon - but in Washington, even the Seattle area, mosquitoes (and other bugs) are minimal. I still think it is odd that most homes here don't have screen doors - just leave the door open if you want a breeze. (Growing up in Minnesota a screen door was a must. And a mom standing there yelling at you if you dallied as you walked in or out.)

“Apologies to all I offended.”

Eric, I wan’t offended at all by your comment. The problem we face is that the media would have everyone believe that all the “blue states” are “all blue,” when nothing could be further from the truth. As an example, California has 58 counties. You can get a CCW permit for the asking from about half of them. The problem lies in the “metropolitan” counties with “elected sheriff’s” like the a$$hole Ross Mirikarimi in San Francisco who isn’t even a cop by profession.
