Oregon's Firewords laws are very strict and limit the explosive power fireworks.

To get around those laws, many Oregonians in the Portland Metro area simply drive across the Columbia River into Washington. There fireworks restrictions are much more lax than Oregon's.

It is very common for local neighborhoods to have as many "illegal" fireworks from Washington as "legal" ones from Oregon.

LOL! Don't you just hate it when your kids date you as being one of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower?

Lately, my 12 year old daughter has been lobbying me hard about having her own cell phone. I said to my wife, "Isn't it amazing that somehow we survived adolescence without owning a personal cell phone?"

My sister and family from FL were up here visiting and her (barely) 12 year old daughter "finally" got a cell phone. The sad thing is, she was one of the last kids in her class to actually get one.

I was in a toy store, my two year old son was playing with a wooden thomas the train set, when this little girl came and set next to him and started playing with another one of the trains and asked her mom how to turn this thing on. the little girl had no idea that all toys don't need to "turn on".
