Mostly Oregonian



A good friend of mine from home keeps asking if I'm an Almost Aussie, and I guess I'd still rate myself as Mostly Oregonian.

Mostly is one of those west coast American phrases that make people here laugh. Another one is Sure. I'm not sure exactly why.

We've entered the rainy season here, and so the weather is on everyone's mind. I mentioned to a friend that the storm was a real "toad strangler", and got a strange look in response. The Australian version is to say that "it's bucketing down".
