Just joshing! P.S - To the original poster: Forget the "proximity to salt water == rusted cars" issue. You're so far better off living close to the water in the Pacific Northwest than you would be in the snow belt states, when it comes to car body longevity. Living in the land of "salt cures all ills", and with the change in winter road maintenance policy that dictates salting in advance of snow (whether it comes or not), and in a community that gets a steady stream of vehicles from all over the US and Canada (multiple colleges in the area), the cars from Washington and Oregon look far better than the do our native vehicles. Just stick to worrying about finding a place near the (good) water that you can afford and will allow you to work in your chosen career(s). That's quite enough, I'm sure. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
