BTW, the new (as yet untested) washer and dryer are Amana made in Iowa. On purpose.

I just did a post on my MUT, made in Oregon, USA. The quality shows. I prefer Aussie made over stuff made in Asia, it's difficult to find stuff that isn't made there though.

Oregon and Washington are interesting places, and a lot alike. Couple of big cities and the rest is just rural where people know how to work hard and make things. Some excellent stuff built there. There was a guy down in Pendelton, OR that had some wild ideas about trap guns. He got a little famous then died. I think he might have been on to something, and the left behind guns are still in high demand 40 years later...

A hell of a lot of small knife works, too.

Another place I'd like to get to some day. I was only telling Faith tonight about a few of the chats I've had here and how shit it is that the pandemic and other factors have conspired against travel. Who knows though, I think in the future we'll get there...The hassle will be to determine where we would go with the limited time we'd have, a month or so only.

The US is a huge place with lots of stuff to see. And the truth is you probably can't make many mistakes long as you are open to it.

Yeah, that's what I figured...We don't like only briefly touching on things so we'd pick a few locations, stay a while and explore those areas. Who knows, maybe we'd have longer. Come hive...MOON!

Yeah, but also others in general I'd hope. They all do it I guess, those in power always feather their own nests.

At the risk of making a gratuitous comment, the only answer to that is: Yeah. Exactly.
