Take a drive through downtown Salem recently? Whole place is a homeless camp, people sleeping on sidewalks and eating leftovers out of garbage cans. I didn't roll down the windows but I can only imagine it smells like downtown Portland - stale piss.

Glad I live out in farm country.

I moved from a degenerating NorCal seaport town to a nice little farm town in Scott Valley, west of Yreka,
I wish I could have done it years ago.

 

[OM617YOTA]

Randy, I like your Jefferson seal better than my own.

 

[RandyMac]

lift it if you want to.

 

[OM617YOTA]

Thank you for the offer. I'll won't borrow another man's avatar, but I'll probably print it out and put it on the shop wall.

 

[RandyMac]

Whereabouts in Oregon are you?

 

[OM617YOTA]

Stayton.

Oh yeah there are more still around than you might think, you just gotta keep your eyes out. I can absolutely walk to quite a few.

In my community there only about a dozen eight to ten foot diemeter trees left. Hundreds of six footers, but the old grandpas are gone. In the PNW it has beens years since I have seen any ten footers. I would hike around just to hang out a bit to see them. Thanks

Well Ted I've never seen sleepers in the streets stateside...…..but I have seen that very thing in Costa Rica.....at 2:00 in the afternoon.....cars and bikes just swerving around 'em….right out in front of the bar....normal day....LOL!!

You mean corpes waiting to be picked up by the coroner. The deceased are left in the streets until they smell very bad. Thanks

Back of my truck.

I bought a little old store in Fort Jones, I'll have exclusive rights to sell 51st State stuff in Fort Jones.from Jefferson State Outfitters. I'm in the middle between Callaghan and Yreka on Hwy 3, the other local outlets.

 

[OM617YOTA]

Hell I won't print it, I'll buy the sign and a flag. Is that your store or should I just buy from Jefferson State Outfitters myself?

 

[RandyMac]

I'm not up and running yet, get what you need from them, they are very nice people.

 

[OM617YOTA]

Done. Thank you sir.

Let us know when you're up and running.
