Well Greg it looks like you have created a bidding war for where you settle next. Of course MR doesn't realize it might take everyone in her order to straighten out your bad ways! And of course I have the draw of living in Zone 8 and in a region that is knee deep in nurseries and plant nuts.
Tell your sister that Salem is much saner and safer than Portland!
MR my relatives founded Salem MA but I prefer the west coast for gardening!
