Oregon is one of my favorite States. I always wanted to live in Portland or Seattle areas.It is so beautiful in Oregon. I wish terrorists didn't like it too. Grrrrr!
They used Las Vegas too, to plan things. They seem to be everywhere. Good to see you my friend.
I like living in a smaller and slower place than those you've mentioned, they remind me of the Bay Area:
too many people and too much traffic... I haven't been to Vegas since '58, when the TOC in golf was won by Mike Souchak... {:~)
