Bamboozle

I went to Kazo City and Tokyo. South of Tokyo to its beach, too. I forget the name of that city.

Went to Japan a couple weeks ago. Their weather is identical to ours (Willamette Valley). Except they get typhoons coming in from the Pacific, and we only get that on the beaches.

Today did have quite nice weather.
You go hiking a lot? Ever been to the Hunchback Mountains near ZigZag and Welches?

Surprisingly, to popular belief, Oregon does not get a lot of rain. I mean, we're cloudy most of the year and we DRIZZLE half that time, but we actually get very little rainfall.
For instance, that is why we have Douglas Fir trees. They have shallow roots since our poor, clay soil + our little rain makes it inefficient for deeper roots.

A fellow Oregonian! =D
