you oregonians are making me homesick - occasionally, even after being here 20 years, I still see a cloud in the distance and think "The mountains are out today" and then I remember "there are NO snow capped peaks in North Carolina". And especially you, storment7, with the picture of you on a sailboat - oh, I'm going to sulk all day, why did we ever leave?!?!? If I had moved to North Carolina from Detroit, I probably would have been happy here, but living 10 years in paradise first, I'm just not happy with the humidity, bugs, lightning (instead of rainbows) and drenching rains like today (instead of being able to walk between the raindrops). Am I idealizing the Northwest? probably, but I don't care. I'll get back someday. Meanwhile, you guys enjoy being there for me, okay? Thanks
