Oregon

Dear Oregon,

I effing hate you. There was a time when I thought you were a pretty respectable place. Portland always seemed like a decent city and your state university mascot is the beaver, whats not to like about that. However things have changed. First and foremost 55 mph (not to mention 50 through portland) is not an acceptable speed limit for I-5. The exact same road that California and Washington have no problem posting a 70mph speed limit on when between major cities you seem to think has to be posted at 55, or occasionally 65 when you are feeling generous. I see no purpose for this other than trying to generate revenue for you statewide socialist healthcare that you would love to implement. Why dont you just become Canada (Im not really against public healthcare, Im just upset with Oregon).
Secondly, what is the effing deal with your gas stations. Let me brake it down nice and simple, if you dont know how to pump your own gas you should not be operating a motor vehicle PERIOD, no excuses. Almost every other state in the country allows self service gasoline and their doesnt seem to be a major problem with people accidentally drinking gasoline or blowing gas stations up. This nifty little system you have in place provides one problem, when its three in the morning and I need gas to continue on my road trip its impossible to find a station with an effing attendant on duty. The best thing about self service is a freaking credit card machine can sell you petrol at any time of the time. So get on board with the rest of the country on this one california and do away with the full service gasoline station legal requirement. Its as bad as bathroom attendants at not so fancy bars in San Diego.
If my lifes journeys never again bring me to Oregon I will be more than OK with that
Sincerely No Longer Yours
The Pit
