              Although I've never heard of Portland being called the "Rose City" I don't doubt that it is and Pasadena is not. I was just yanking his chain, but apparently he didn't notice the :rolleyes:.

                      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
