Richard In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. Orson Welles

Dance like nobody's watching.Nope, it's Portland. Check it: http://www.digital-web.com/portland/[^] Pasadena is a Johnny-Come-Lately pretender to the name. Never mind that Pasadena was founded with the building of the Mission in 1771 and Portland wasn't really founded until 1845. :)

Back a while, there was a problem with a bug called a medfly, so they quarantined San Francisco. Signs were put up outside the city which said "No fruits or nuts allowed beyond this point." I always figured that was why there seemed to be such large concentration of fruits and nuts in the bay area. 'til next we type... HAVE FUN!! -- Jesse
