When Boeing got ****ed on the SST it put 50% of Seattle out of work. While
I wasn't working for Boeing, I was also at that time out of work, so my ex
wife, a freind and myself pooled our money and bought a cheap truck and
loaded everything in the world we owned into that truck.
We decided that California had more job opportunity and less rain, so we
headed down the road. On the way, we stopped to see some friends who had
moved to Oregon and visited for a while. During that stay our truck caught
fire and everything we owned burned. Somehow, without public assistance or
any form of government handout of any kind, we managed to make out way to
California anyway and find employment and prosper.

Try any Grapes Of Wrath on the way? They're quite good, I hear. :-)
