I guess I should mention I'm born and raised Astorian, all 27 years (well, unless you count the two Portland years!) So I guess (Paul) I at least have that going for me! The move was only a little bit down the road and to the west, so I now have a magnificent view of the Megler (Oregon to Washington) bridge, so not quite on the mouth of the river.
