LOL, I always think of “Here Come The Brides” as being in Oregon even though “Seattle” was the theme song. Just to spice things up …..
Hello From Oregon!

I know! Quite the compliment!
You do realize you are now in a geographic anomaly. It is two weeks from everything. Good luck getting that tobacco mail order.
You are now living in the vicinity of the summer Shakespeare Festival, if you enjoy live theater.

One thing about being the Navy was that the frequent moves tended to mitigate agains the accumulation of “stuff,” there just wasn’t enough time between moves as soon as we were settled it was time to pick up stakes and do it again.
Unpacking priorities were the bedroom and kitchen, after that the rest can be done at leisure.

Jesse has recounted many of his prior trips to the Shakespeare festival in Oregon on this very forum. I think he plans to reinvent himself as a thespian.
Does this mean the center of the known universe is no longer in Burbank? And if so - what sort of knock on effects will come of this?
Congratulations on your decision to flee the Golden state and migrate north.
Been to Ashland a number of times and although the weather is like northern Cal. the people and culture are a 180 degree turnaround from Southern California. I know there is a significant Cal. Expat population there, but not overwhelming enough to ruin things.
You may already know the state motto of Oregon is, “Alis volat propriis “, which roughly means, “She flies with her own wings.” and that describes the typical native Oregonian citizen.
Once you get settled in and can kick back a bit I think you’ll be happy there. I am rooting for you Jesse.
Hey, it's 2023. He can be any gender he/they wants to be.
Yes, I should have said theyspian.Hey, it's 2023. He can be any gender he/they wants to be.
I cancel thee!
Moving sucks. Our last move was 35 years ago into this house. I dread the day we get too old to do the stairs and we'll have to move.
Congrats on your move.
Congrats on your move.
Moving is a world class pain in the ass. My dad was in the Navy for the first 13 years of my life and I already had attended 13 schools. The he got out, but he kept moving around and I racked up 6 high schools before I got out of the house. Happiest damn day of my life.
Pretty country! Glad you are settling in.
moving is a great way to see if you really need or want that thing. I gave away a couple things to random people just cause I realized I don't need to keep that stuff.
he's gonna go old school cause he's a bit of a hardcore traditionalist. What I mean by that is he's going to throw rotting fruit and veg at the actors and try to engage them in sword duels. Like I said he's an old school chap.
So your move pretty much looked like this…
Though I imagine two or three more wagons were needed?
Ashland: That sounds like an appropriate place for a pipe-smoker! Hopefully, your pipes and tobacco were NOT culled...
