Eugene is where the Berkeley hippies went when Berkeley got too upscale. The question there is not "Do you smoke pot?" it's "Where did you smoke pot?" In Eugene, I saw a man with a cat on his head, a bike-riding mandolin player, a person living in an aluminum-coated trailer on the back of his bike, and your usual run of hippies. There's an anarchist on the city council... And incidentally, Spokane and Eugene are anything but indistinguishable. Eugene is where the Berkeley hippies went when Berkeley got too upscale.

It's "resting on the laurels of Expo '74." It's "Spo-Vegas", "Spok-a-loo", and the most freaking white-bread city you'll ever hope to meet. In other words, it has a very distinct flavor, and that flavor is "Oh well, we tried." Sometimes it's even "Oh well, we tried and we failed." Drove me nuts. I do not hate Spokane, but sometimes dealing with it was like dealing with an idiot co-worker who's nice, really, but who needs to grow some backbone already. Spokane.

Yes Sacto may get to 110 degrees but it is a "dry heat." Well it is not that I love "dry" it is that I hate humidity.
