I had a friendly gent down in Yuma AZ gently suggest that my friend and I
keep on-a-movin, when we were passing through town.  Apparently a couple of
WA longhairs in a VW bus ain't too welcome down in those parts.

Trust me, until you learn the secret handshake, we'll find uniquely devious
and covert ways in which to undermine your health and well-being.  Remember
to slap the "I <3 Bill" bumper sticker on, just for Clay.

Man, the general concensus seems to be that the Pac. NW consists of a
majority of wierdos. Growing up in AZ, there was a joke that California
was
"the land of the fruits and nuts." Maybe all the Californians moved north
and all the Mexicans have moved to their north as well.

And this notion of organized resistance and protests, etc. to people
moving
in and "californicating" Washinton - wow. I bet the majority of these
protesters would consider the same type of protesting against foreign
immigration to be one of the cardinal sins.

Whatever, it won't be the first time I've felt the "you ain't from around
here" syndrome (having moved from Tucson to a relatively small town in
Minnesota - with a bald head at the time).

Actually, when we were checking out our probable new town Bainbridge
Island,
we were very surprised that we didn't run into any of the sort of
resistance
I'm hearing of. People seemed pretty genuine and welcoming even when they
heard we're moving there. Maybe they've got their own version of
"Minnesota
Nice" (which, we've found, is skin-deep - be nice face to face, and thus
gather a bunch of information to be used in gossip sessons later).
