    The only "Doh!" I do is laugh at you for trying to sucker people into spending their dough for worthless property in Beautiful Central Oregon.

    ...is it considered "charity" if your employer is ordering and paying you to do it? Just curious :dunno:

    I look at output and not motivation. In other words, yes.

    This was a handout, yes?

    As a Republican, did you bill the kids with heavy interest?

    Back when I was in the corporate world, they actually paid us (and fed us lunch, to boot,) to periodically go help out at schools, boys & girls clubs, and the like. Sadly, there were some who 'skated' those efforts....and went home (effectively, as an extra paid day off) instead. :(

    To us native LO'ers, it's known as Toilettown, due to the sewer running through it.

    For those who rag on government workers, it was pretty much a bi-monthly deal for many of my coworkers at the USACE and BLM to volunteer all over the place to help any organization in need on weekends. It was just a major part of the social attitude there that I never experienced before or since in the private sector, and I think it's why few private companies can ever hope to match the quality and efficiency of most Federal Agencies.

    More to the point, the "sewer line" that feeds Oswego Lake is the Tualatin River, the most polluted river in Oregon. Hence the moniker "Toilettown" for Tualatin.

    The drainage area of the river is approximately 712 square miles (1,840 km2) with 27 creeks feeding into the Tualatin.[14] Its watershed is 15% urbanized, 35% agricultural, and 50% forested.[6] the river drops 1,800 feet (550 m) in elevation during its first 12 miles (19 km) and then only an additional 250 feet (76 m) for the remainder of its course.[14] This creates a slow river for the majority of the course, creating problems with pollution.[14] Pollution reached a point that in 1989 local agencies were forced to begin cleaning up the river after the Tualatin failed water quality standards outlined in the Clean Water Act of 1972.[15] It was the first river in the state to fail overall pollution limits.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tualatin_River

    Oswego Lake has a very interesting history and is probably the most relevant target in America to become a 99%er "swim-in" site (Next summer?).

    This is definitely worth a read for anyone interested in local history:

    Poisons is probably a better word for it, but that's where the water comes from.

    So Oswego Lake is a cesspool?

    The City of Tualatin isn't even mentioned in the wikipedia article for the Tualatin River. That's because it was named after the Tualatin Valley, which houses many cities.

    Tualatin isn't 83 miles long.
