shhh - did you hear that? Sounds like a banjo coming from east of the mountains... Sure enough - and it's the 'Deliverance' theme as well... eek

The only reason dry falls and other eastide lakes get so crowded is because 90% of the year they are either frozen, or boiling hot - so you have to hit the window just right...

Most deserts and wastelands are 'tranquil' for a reason!!

4 seasons? Try 2 - the HOT season and the COLD season.

Whoever named us the 'evergreen state' never headed east of the mountains...

Just poking fun. There are as many bad things you could say about this side. You just won't convince me today. It's 80 degrees, everything is green and lush, and I can't decide if I should go steelheading or trout fishing... smile
