a natural disaster? yea, like being on the ass-end of the san andreas fault? maybe they'll send field reporters out to those houses on stilts up in the west hills when THE BIG ONE hits (you know, when Cali becomes an island and secedes?) and sets off all our sleepy volcanoes...
just be sure to get yer lawn chair and six pack to watch it all go down from the roof....
Matt--your American accent is impeccable. Or is it? Are you one of us now? When was the last time you used the loo? Put petrol in your lorry? I know what you're thinking; now that our president doesn't suck (as much) it's okay to be a Yankee. Right? No! It's still not okay. Why lurch from one sinking colonial empire to the next? Brush up on your Mandarin. Trust me.
All you hipster jerks think this weather is a joke now, but just wait until Saturday and Sunday. 6" - 12" of snow IN Portland, freezing rain, and east wind of atleast 50mph. You all are going to be crapping your pants...you won't be able to ride your bikes around.
