The winters usually cause most people from sunnier parts of the country to move home.

If she can't stand a month out here over that part of the year, moving here would be an extreme mistake. And yes, we do actually get 40 days and nights of continual rain every couple of years.

That's a pretty long way to move. It's about the same distance that Putin would have to move to be my next door neighbour...

What I find disturbing is that "localities" can override state law. this is especially confusing and troubling when carrying in your car. In Texas, your car is not considered a "public place", but is instead considered to be an extension of your home.

Cities have the (unconstitutional) state code "legal" authorization to ban OC, such as Oregon City, Portland, Astoria, etc. A major majority of central and eastern counties & cities have no such "infringement". Though, unlike Oregon where you can CC on school grounds, in Idaho such is prohibited unless explicit authorization is given by the school board (an executive branch entity which has not the state constitutional authority to 'legislate' such).

No it ain't. I used to work with a guy that was big into boats. You would think that Portland would be a great place to have a boat to go out on the sunny summer weekends. So, he bought a brand new ski boat in 2009 (I think, my memory is going). Well he couldn't take it out the first year. The second year was much better, he got to take his boat out 3 times during the summer. Not sure about the 3rd year. I moved out of Oregon about then. The year after I moved out of Oregon/Washington, was the year he sold his boat. A fire fighter I knew up there was a Harley rider. Him and his wife rode to Sturgis every year. Last I heard he was real tired of only being able to ride his bike 4 or 5 times during the year. YMMV.

I believe she said Alaska, not Oregon. And depending on your exact location (the Bering Strait), the time of year and how clear the weather is, you actually can see Russia from Alaska. After all, the Strait is only 51 miles (82 km) wide.

You see could the beach of Cape Dezhnev if you stood on top of a 530m high tower at Cape Prince of Wales (give or take a few meters, my math is a bit rusty). Earth curvature you know. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Little and Big Diomede islands, but they're only 2.4 miles apart

well, not really. You can only see about 5km at sea level because of the earth curvature (unless you are a flat-earther).

Wrong. The Earth has a radius of approximately 3965 miles. Using the Pythagorean theorem, that calculates to an average curvature of approximately 8 inches per mile. So over 51 miles you would have a curvature of 8 * 51 = 408 inches = 34 feet (or about 10.4 meters). So you'd only need to be on a sizable hill or cliff at the shore to see Cape Dezhnev, from which there are plenty to choose. See this picture[^] as an example. Nevertheless, it'd be difficult to see, without visual aids, even on a extremely clear day due to how the ocean mists muddy the air.

I wasn't, but Sarah Palin was when she said "...you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." People always misquote her by leaving off that last part. (Note: I don't think very highly of Mrs. Palin as a politician. McCain could have chosen better.) And some say those island are only 1.5 miles apart. Hey, but don't take my word for it. Also, read the Snopes article[^] about the phrase. Near the end of it a 1988 NY Times article is quoted indicating one can see Siberia from St. Lawrence Island, a distance of 37 miles and also from Cape Prince of Wales, an additional distance of only 14 miles.
