Jim, yes. You don't remember the bumper stickers in the 70s in Oregon and Washington to the effect "don't californicate our state"? I also remember along route 1 in Oregon, about every mile, signs like that or other "don't pollute, pitch in", and other such very creative statements. To me, the signs were as much a pollutant as a hamburger wrapper, after a while. I hate pollution as much as anybody, but you can go too far with the signs and other paranoia. WRT crowds, or lack of same, did you know that no city north of San Francisco has > 100,000 people? And, that's a stretch well over 300 miles. Oregon ought to thank their lucky stars they're not near Southern California. Tony

Jim, RE: You don't remember the bumper stickers in the 70s in Oregon and Washington to the effect "don't californicate our state"? Or the "visit Oregon" promotion, with the I-5 redrawn along the Oregon-Idaho border, never actually entering Oregon, from California that is. How about the beer commercial, with the Oregon trooper asking the California truck driver "Where ya going with all that beer?". Forcing the driver to haul his beer to some other state that allows "chemicals" in their beer. Or the California driver stopped for an open and empty can of "illegal" beer and being warned it's a misdemeanor, thanking the officer for letting him go, saying "Thanks, I have to get to Portland, I'm a land developer from California" at which point the trooper tells him that's a felony.
