Visiting The Newlyweds
Here we are at Lori & Nathan’s place in Beaverton, Oregon. Oregon is pretty green as everyone had told us. But there were other things that us native Californians did not know. At least the uniformed (us).
Lori & Nathan told us that there are a lot of weird people in Oregon. They even have a t-shirt and bumper sticker with the phrase, “Keep Oregon Weird”. Supposedly, there are a lot of people who are homeless here. That was why we saw people walking around the freeways. Jobs like the gasoline fuel guy or the guy who counts salmon exist because the government needed to make miscellaneous positions to improve the employment situation of Oregon.
It seems like people still adhere to the Industrial Age where it was expected after graduating from school you work for one company and stay with the same company until retirement. Complete company loyalty.
