Yes pretty much any city in Ohio with a name that you think should be pronounced one way is pronounced wrong. Montpelier, Lima, uniopolis come to mind.

to me, the state is definitely Ore-gun. So like you said same, same, but different.
I say the state like “organ”, but with maybe a tiny hitch in the middle. Definitely not an extra syllable.
I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin also called Oregon (or-e-gon), which also predates the state (or-e-gun), which I was genuinely interested in after @meathaus posted his fact too.
Also, @Aham13 I lived in @Forty’s neck of the woods (La Quinta to be exact) for a while during the recession and even as a caddie at Madison Club I could afford to rent a house in a gated community out there. Insane hearing pricing when I catch up with friends who are still out there. My brother is in San Diego and bought his 1200 sqft home in late 19 for $1.2M and has had several unsolicited offers closer to $2M lately. I feel for you guys out there, but if it’s any solace, things are dumb here too, even if it’s a lesser extent.

What I want to know is where the fuck are all these people getting so much money to afford multi-million dollar homes?

I mean, I know where my brother and his very soon to be wife get it, but there’s only so many Qualcomm jobs that pay the way they are getting paid.
Oh, also, I’ll be in SD the 18-23rd, so if I can skate away to the valley, I’ll let you know. Obviously this is assuming you’re around or even free.

Brother… I feel this in my bones. The median home price in Oahu is 1.05m. No clue how people are doing it. Most likely you Californians buying up 2nd homes.
Perfectly happy renting right now. Had a valve burst in the sprinkler. Wife asked “Are you going to fix it?” Called the rental agency and they had a guy out within a day. Very much adapting to the @OffTheDole method of paying someone to labor for you.

It’s wild everywhere right now for sure. I could chase a higher paying job somewhere else in the state or in the country but it’s not worth it. We like where we live and my mom can come to her grandkids soccer games on Saturday mornings and you can’t put a price on that. Just gotta win the lottery so I can keep coaching community college golf forever.
My friends first project after college was the bighorn clubhouse in the valley. People were paying tens of thousands of dollars to showcase their luxury cars in the vault. No matter where you go people will always have fuck you money.

Finding out a buddy has a jet was truly one of the most insane things that’s happened to me this year. Always knew he was well off, didn’t know he had “own a jet” money. Was a fun trip to Vegas though.

Are you excited that you’re one month away from being an hour closer to Central Time?

If (when) I do this again I think I’ll go the sourdough route.

It’s the only option as far as most of us are concerned. Every now and then I will get a regular bun to remind myself how good the sourdough really is.

I figured for a first try I would try it in its pure on the menu form. But there’s no doubt in my mind that the sourdough would have made it much better not that it was bad by any means!

Just checked the Zillow estimate on my mom’s home in a small sliver of unincorporated LA County between Arcadia, Temple City, San Gabriel, San Marino and Pasadena (seriously, see map). They bought a 2 BR, 1.5B in 1969 for $27k, and added a master suite a few years later, up to 1,800 square feet. It’s now estimated at $1.2MM. That is nutso. And if she sold it, there’s no guarantee it wouldn’t just be torn down for a McMansion. Also, her neighbor has basically the same house (with maybe 200 more sqft) and pays 9x what my mom pays in property taxes.

My new move has been getting the deluxe on sourdough (as always) but getting onion rings instead of fries and tossing one or two on the burger
