Goodbye to 4GYZ422

No, not goodbye to my car - just my California license plates. I am now the proud owner of Oregon tags. Does this mean I'm an Oregonian or is it just my car? It sure does look official. Oh, by the way, did I tell you I'm moving to Bend, Oregon?

Some Oregon observations:
  • People make eye contact here. I keep thinking, "Why are you staring at me!?" and then I realize it's just general friendliness. Wow - what culture shock compared to LA.
  • The speed limit signs actually mean the speed you're supposed to go, not a jumping off point. Make sure not to go more than 5 miles over or prepare to brave the local police (this is, thankfully, not from personal experience - really).
  • The beauty is spectacular!
