Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Mike, I'll admit to being a rare bird in any population. But Ken Kesey being one illustrious native, may give you a clue. Then there's his sister-in-law, , of 's Honey Yogurt fame. Senator Wayne , long time holder of the Senate fillibuster record. Can't recall what he was fillibustering about, but he got the record, at any rate. Oregon, being the 5th largest state in the US, has 5 main regions. Portland, the largest and only metropolitan city in the state comprises its own region. Its unlike anywhere else in the state, and the rest of the state is happy to leave it that way. Then there's the Coastal region. It rains more there than it rains in the valley. Not so much more in amount, but in days and hours. You know Pacific coast. Its wet. Gorgeous beaches, but wet. Best time to enjoy them is winter. Hole up in a west facing hotel room and indulge in the weather display. Then we have the central valleys, largest of which is the Willamette valley, about 120 miles long by about 40 miles wide. Its actually a swamp that dries out in the summer (mostly). Being winter here, its in swamp mode. And with the innundation of rains that I called forth to allay the drought we'd had for several years, we are more flood than swamp in many areas. I was born in the southern end of the Willamette swamp. There are also other western valleys not so large, but essentially the same makeup, swamps. Then there is the Central and Eastern parts of Oregon, mostly high desert areas. Arid, sunny, dry, dry, brown, dry. The most spectacular part of the state, though, is the mountains. Mountains run the length of the state (north to south) in two places, Coastal mountain range and Cascade mountain range, and there are a few other notable mountainous areas, the Wallowas, the Blue mountains, the Siskeyou range, that separates OR from CA. We like that range. Native diet consists to a great extent of beer. Innumerable small local brewers have dumped their wares upon innumerable local brew pubs. They are the pricey joints for the imports from CA. We like to impress the strangers. Local indigenous natives prefer large amounts of the less expensive beer. One community in Oregon once boasted the highes per capita consumtion of beer in the country. Not sure this is really something to brag about. Along with the beer, of course, you have your standard beer menu, grease and grease. Myself, not having indulged in beer or any other alcoholic beverage since 1976 I eat differently. As do many others. And there's also a bevy of local wineries. Folks that drink wine say they are very good. I know the wine my mom made was excellent, from our backyard vines. Most of the mountainous areas and western parts of the state revel in water based recreation, fly fishing is very popular, and promoted highly to the visitors. Personally I always prefered wild stream skinny dipping. We do have some nude public beaches but I'm sure you can imagine they are generally quite nippley, er.. nippy. We have lots of mountain streams and rivers, many lakes and reservoirs, and a very productive fish farming program. We gots fish. Unfortunately, much of the river fish are no longer safe to eat because of the heavy metal polution from the smelting plants. Oregon also was the Summer home for many of the CA hippy crowd, and we natives, always willing to dress strangely and smoke odd stuff, went right along. And we have a popular and successful medical marijuana law. Professional and amateur sports are very popular, always being shown on the perennial tavern TV sets. Another dubious claim to fame is our burgeoning cottage industry in Methamphetamine production. However, this industry seems to be somewhat self limiting. Then there's the rednecks. We gots lotsa rednecks. Cowboy hats and boots, western Cadillacs (pickup trucks) and country music taking over all the radio stations. Local industry? That's unknown. Many have been out of work for years. Many who have returned to work have returned to burger slinging rather than their high tech jobs of old. I can't even sling burgers anymore. For swimsuit pics I refer you to http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/swimsuit/collection/ Sally Sallie's Life Anoung the Native Peoples of Oregon Sally, Perhaps you can share some of your stories about the Native people. What sorts of villages they live in, hunting and gathering methods and give special attention to any unusual mating customs of course. Love of rain is a strange manifestation of your rare and beautiful mental state. I will research it for you and get back with a proper diagnosis. Some swimsuit pictures would aid me in my work..

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Sally, Sounds like a wacky, wild west kinda hippie, red neck, fly fishing place. Perfect for a rare bird like you. I love Ken Kensey's old books. Like me he was a sex researcher too I think. Thanks for the swimsuit pics. Took me a few hours to look at each and every one. I plan to look at your pics more later when I have some " alone time " and a box of klenex. The make up is amazing you look like different chicks in different shots. You look to be about 23 in the pics which is hard to reconcile with your reported time with hep c. While I am convinced from your pics that you are as you say a very sexy super model I think your faking the hep c thing to find a man like me. Many beautiful young super models find me irresistable so I understand the reasons for your deception and forgive you. You must know up front I just want the wild good times, crazy sex and to help spend your fabulous income on me. If you don't want to clean my house or cook you can hire a maid but I insist on picking the maids and the uniform. Marriage is out of the question but we can still have a real good time. I presume this is agreeable to you as it is to all the other super models I currently live with. Tara and Elie are here now and wish to welcome you to your new home. They say they are looking forward to having a new girl here. You will be a welcome patricipant in our daily nude pillow fighting and oil wrestling games. Tara says she plans to keep some warm massage oil waiting for our traditional welcoming ceremony for new arrivals. Congratulations on finaly finding me, Mike > > > > Mike, > > > > LOL!
