My good friend, blogging inspiration, and ever-present online addict Margot has joined the brilliant and beautiful people who populate the Best Coast*.
Welcome!
She and her mother made the drive in an impressive three and a half days. That's a trip that used to take (from Missouri, not New Jersey) five to six months and has enough awesome things to do along the way that Serena and I took six weeks. Impressive.
Unfortunately she has decided to inhabit the one place we all (us West Coasters and especially Oregonians) kind of raise our collective noses to: Los Angeles. Too big, too much concrete, and too much traffic. But, she has to be there to pursue her desired career so an exception will be made: I'm happy to have her!
Funny story illustrating Oregon's superior status: Californians are notorious for moving to Oregon to get out of the rat race that is urban California. At one point in the late 90's U-Haul trucks cost double when rented for use from Los Angeles to Oregon. For a rental from Oregon to Los Angeles? Free. They were giving the things away because all of them were stuck in Oregon and then they had to pay drivers to take them back to southern California!
*For those of you not dialed in, the West Coast is the best and our communal creativity utilized the word "best" due to its rhyming qualities with "west." Astute, no?
