Hi again! I can't believe I've been here over a month already! I miss everyone back in Colorado, but am loving it here. We are finally starting to catch a glimpse of summer, and the freckles are blooming quite nicely. In an attempt to lure visitor and possible future residents I have compiled the top 5 reasons why Oregon is fantastic:
1. No sales tax! It's weird to get used to, but super cool. If something is 99 cents, you pay 99 cents. Apparently sales and property taxes are higher- but hey, I have no property and no income, so I'm cheating the system.
2. They sell booze in the grocery store. Ok, this isn't just in Oregon, but it's new to me, and i think it's cool.
3. Nudity is legal. Now before you go judging me, I will first say that i have NOT exercised my new found right to go sans pants. I will however say that i think it's funny and a good story if nothing else.
4. The most microbreweries per square mile in the country. There's even a brew bus that takes you around to a bunch of breweries and gives you a city tour on the way.
5. Greenery. It's green here and things actually grow. Coloradoans know the value of this, so i need not say anymore.
