Extract

I live and work in the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. I realize that some of you may not know exactly where Oregon is. When I lived for a year in England, most of the people I met thought Oregon was somewhere in the middle of the U.S. like the other “O” states – Oklahoma and Ohio. However, when I told my English friends that Oregon was the state immediately north of California, they knew exactly where it was. Everyone, it seems, knows where California is: Hollywood, surfers, Disneyland, etc.
