We have to keep up the illusion of endless pouring rain, it's all that
holds the Californians back from swarming up the coast and turning us
into another LA.  That and the fact that our freeways were designed by
idiots.  I'm sure that's why mass transit hasn't ever happened.  The
city councils figure if they make enough people sit in traffic for long
enough they'll leave.  It eliminates the need for growth planning.  It's
all one big conspiracy, yeah, that's it...  ;-)

Someday when I have less economic incentive to live here I hope to move
east of the Cascades.  Four seasons would really be nice, and over in
Eastern Washington when they complain about traffic I just laugh.
