I was involved with a startup company American I-Beam Corp.. that manufactured them. One of the first plants in the nation making wooden I-Beams - up to 60 feet long.. Guaranteed silentfloor -no squeaks over time. Company was gobbled up by Georgia Pacific acquisition.

The only things I know about Oregon,
- home of the spotted Owl – (Late 80’s??) which really tossed a wrench to lumber industry. Finally – lots of Californians moved to Oregon to flee
their dreaded, over-taxed, liberal short-sighted state. But – they brought with them their tax burden, liberal shortsightedness,
and other ** 1st World Problems only to screw up Oregon – (a.k.a. Californification II).

Not to forget the Snail Darters. Oregon had a Republican governor when I moved here in 1965, but he actually governed more fiscally conservative, yet civilly liberal, as is most of Oregon still. Alas as you note, enough of the central Willamette Valley was flooded with immigrants from the land of CA, that our part of the state has become both fiscally and civilly liberal, with enough votes to speak for the rest of the state.

Who dealt?

Don't know. What's t r u m p? Euchre, for the censors.

spades is that politically correct?

Yes, thank you for asking, I would love a Modello Negro! Is the "Pot" right?

We will look like that Sunday and Monday

We already do have a light covering, with more predicted! 27F @ 78% RH, snow, with winds at 17 mph and predicted to soar to 29F before days end.

On top of a freezing rain so we will be digging out the crampons for this mornings dawg walk, but planning to spend the day with indoor sports and debauchery, spiced with periodic brave forays into the winter blast mit der stalwart and enthusiastic pup who loves it all.

A salute to the insightful soul who invented foul and extreme weather gear, so that I too can laugh in the face of the blizzard while frolicking with the glad faced pups.
 
Things got a bit crispy last night, so I'm putting myself on the wagon, 'til Monday anyhoo. Slept like a rock, dreamt of an old, long dead friend, and woke up still zoned.
Gotta find something mellow to do to entertain the troops. Keep warm thoughts, my brothers (sisters too, if'n they're lurking). The whistle pig says we've got six more weeks of this crap.
 
I live in the north to Hippie and I have some good news for you, It's about to get much worse, at least here in Michigan.
I can see why you got fired from the Suicide Prevention Hotline.
