Central Oregon on a holiday weekend is no place to be out on the streets. It'll take me at least 15 min. to get out onto the highway when I leave. The good news is that they just finished a bypass around my hometown and it should confuse enough of the tourists that they'll just keep heading south. I'll tell 'em Mikeyy's got a yard and baggie just waiting for them and they'll be SoCal bound.

I have a lot of friends in Oregon. Mostly around Medford. And a friend in Grants Pass. He's a postman. And I have spent some time there myself. I have a bunch of Jock cousins up there. Wrestlers. In fact one of my cousins is like 3 time state champion.

That and about $5 will get you a coffee at Starbucks. We have two sayings about Oregon. The first. Its the state where people move to to get divorced. Everyone I know who moved to Oregon has gotten divorced.
And my uncle likes to say about the rogue valley. "You freeze all winter and in the summer a lizard can't live there" He isn't a big fan. Ha Ha. But it seems to get in your blood. Because the people I know wouldn't leave it.

That sounds neat.
We might go to a traditional breakfast down at the community center in town. Then I hope to see the parade. (This town's so small I could have been in it if I had wanted to-).
We watched fireworks yesterday evening at a local mall parking lot.

We were lucky we didn't have to go back to work till the 5th--that doesn't happen very often!
