When I used to frequent Portland and Seattle in the late 80's/early 90's, espresso carts were all the rage. It seemed like every business had the suffix and espresso! I used to stay at the Holiday Inn at Boeing Field, and right up Marginal Way was pick 'n pull - and espresso! That got tagged

too late! You shoulda put up border control 30 years ago to keep the fruits and nuts from northern migration. ...Nope, if you moved to Washington State you could have volcanoes, avalanches, tsunamis, rain forest, rain, snow, humidity and desert, but you've had to give up warm beaches

yes, do not move to PNW. Rains all the time. Any change in weather results in nobody understanding how to drive. The D baggery is due to being startled by bright lights and moisture, or clouds, wind, or even the presence of air. clay On Apr 14, 2012, at 1:36 PM, Brian Toscano wrote: Are

Must be the presence of air because it was a clear day near the Gorge when I experienced some of worst of it. Total d-bags. Not to mention the morons with a trailer in the left lane coming down the Cascades at an extremely slow speed. Washington State has it all, but from what I can tell most
