Not really a guide, I'd say, but nice writing. That should scare away the Californians. Haha!

It's not the guide, it's the intro to the guide.

Oh that is awesome. Don't move here out of staters! And for the love of God, if you are an employer......hire people that have lived in oregon! Not someone who just moved here from a different state. Countless people here need jobs. Employ your own state first!

Yes, let's start making discriminatory hiring decisions. Add Mexicans and blacks to the list as well. Why not just continue the stream of hate? It sure seems to make all of the redneck assed, ignorant "natives" (self proclaimed on the internet that is) happy!!!

This is so wrong! I'm a transplant from the prairie/desert and I love the rain, because I know it gives us the beautiful green summers!

Portland native here. This is an excellent and informational documentary piece which should be widely disseminated around America. As to the guy above:

"it sure seems to make all of the redneck assed, ignorant "natives""

Gee, and, why do we hate you? Go take that s--t and tell it to the Sioux.

Nothing like a real Portland winter to thin out the herd. It's been a while since we have had one; I have heard murmurs that we are in for one this winter. Mwah mwah ah ahhh.

I, a California import, read this aloud to my native Oregonian husband. I can not stop laughing. Beautifully written!

This was beautiful. Am I weeping, or is this rain? In winter, there is no difference.
