in Oregon, people are kind.
people drive slow,
the speed limit on highways is 55 mph.
men in Oregon sport thick beards
and there is no shortage of plaid flannel shirts.
in Oregon kids play outside in the rain
in t-shirts, because it is not yet cold enough for sweaters and coats.
many in Oregon
came from California
and those who didn't drool when I say I did.
people in Oregon swear it rains too much here,
yet they all adapt so well you couldn't tell.
oregonians exercise in every way possible
no matter what the weather is like.
canoeing
biking
jogging.
there are quirky, hippie, outdoorsy, earthy people
around every corner.
i love it.
in Oregon
people keep a neutral countenance
rather than getting uptight and stressed.
the air is clean and fresh here,
even in the heat of the summer,
but even more so after a fresh rain.
vibrant green is the color of choice in Oregon
all. year. round.
bicyclists have the right of way:
and even normal seeming folks are odd
but it's home.
pretty sure I wouldn't have it
any
other
way.
