Wow!!! An actual thunderstorm!!! :-o

Thanx for the very enlightning (no pun intended) education. Appreciate it.
Where is your friend going to School?
We have a number of possible locations plus a bunch of smaller ones I am sure.

Actually, she's on her last month with the school already. She moved to Portland, OR, a few years ago. She found a cullinary arts school there with a 13 Month schedule. She jumped for it and simply has to do this externship to finish. She'll be graduating with honors.

I'm not sure what restaurant she's working at, though. If she gets hired on at this restaurant, it wll mark the third time that she's moved cross-continent. First from Anchorage to London, then London to Portland. Now Portland to London again! Oye!

Only downside is when you try to send her packages. Damn taxes and such. (Growing up without a state tax or sales tax really gets you to be opposed to the idea of them. Even more so when the state gives you free money every year. Oh yeah, baby! The state is paying for half of my Cruiser, they just don't know it. hehe)
