Okay this is for my neighbors Paul and Parabeagle - true Oregonians (I just work here!) ;;)
You Know You Live in Oregon If...
-You believe the weather man.
-You throw an aluminum can in the trash and feel guilty.
-You think people who use umbrellas are wimps.
-You are sitting at a red light surrounded by Subaru Legacy Outbacks.
-You use the words 'sun breaks' and know what it means.
-You know more than 10 words to describe a cup of coffee and the vast differences between Coffee People, Torrefazione, and Starbuck's.
-You can point in the direction of two or more volcanoes even though you can't see them due
to clouds.
-You have a bookstore, coffee bar, and brewpub within walking distance of your house.
-You own more than 10 articles of clothing that have microbreweries / brewpubs printed on them.
-You complain about Californians as you sell your house to one for twice as much as you originally paid
-You know more people who own boats than air conditioners.
-You consider swimming an indoor sport.
-You consider something a "hill" (not a mountain) if it doesn't have snow on it or has not recently erupted, regardless of its altitude.
-In the winter, you go to work in the dark, come home in the dark, and only have an 8 hour day.
-You feel overdressed wearing a suit to a really nice restaurant.
-You find a wallet with $500 and give it back to the owner.
-You used to live somewhere else but won't admit it publicly.
-You know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon.
-You've ever ordered a half caff/decaf, nonfat mocha grande with sugar-free cranberry whip (or you know what it is).
-The bride & groom registered at REI.(sport supply store)
-You are amazed at an accurate weather forecast.
-You'd be miffed if the store was out of your favorite brand of water.
-Every day is casual Friday.

Thanks for the chuckle. I have to go polish my dress Birkenstocks and brush off my Pendleton shirt now. x;-)
