"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Hi, guys.   :)

Eastern Washington. Which, we Cascadians might say, is unsurprising.

But this is how it starts.  Very small.  Some spores from Arizona in some other place nobody gives a crap about.

Does this mean eating the Walla-Walla onion rings is tempting fate? Or does that go for any Burgerville menu item, generally?

Burgerville is a Cascadian Oregon phenomenon; we're safe here.

Roger: The deal with Eastern Washington and Oregon is that it's on the other side of the Cascades. Everything on the other side of the Cascades doesn't really exist, it's all Out East. There aren't even any people there.

The part where people live used to be a big island that kind of got smushed up against the part on the other side by accident, but it's still an island, really. It's just separated by volcanoes instead of water.

I'm pretty sure, actually, that that whole thing is Tucson.

Yes.  We are surrounded by desert here, but it's really the same thing.  No people, just wind-scoured ruins and it's all good until the sun goes down.

As far as I can remember from driving through it, Eastern Wa and Ore are contiguous with the deserts of Utah, Nevada and Arizona. It's the same landscape all the way down, except you guys have saguaros.

I guess TECHNICALLY our deserts are all on basalt flow from that Yellowstone thing, but whatever.

It looks like this:

Welcome to Oregon, settlers. Don't worry, you'll all be dead of dysentery soon.

You guys even have some kinda radioactive valley, right?

Because that could be an "Arizona Theme Park" you could do there.  Everyone could wear lead suits, and the ghost of a certain hipster could pedal around asking people things in Spanish, in a hollow voice.

Do you mean the radiation that leaks out of the ground here? That's actually a good reminder that I need to use my radon kit and figure out how bad my basement is.

Wasn't there some valley there that the Natives wouldn't live in, but whitey knew better, moved in and everyone died or some shit?

That's the story white people tell themselves about the Willamette Valley, to make them feel better about killing everyone and stealing the only habitable valley in the whole state.

As far as I can tell, it's a really pervasive legend that most regions have a version of. "The indians didn't want this beautiful lush prime territory anyway! So I don't have to feel guilty about my government having massacred everyone and invading it".

It's revisionist history so people can feel better.
