Another little piece...

Well, they came yesterday. My new Oregon license plates arrived in the mail, the last of the vehicles to receive their new tags. This was just another little piece of the transition process. Gone are the DWNTWN Nebraska plates.



Now I am officially an Oregonian. I have the drivers license, the new tags and all I have left to do is register to vote. I have found the Oregon drivers to be incredibly gracious and courteous. I wonder how much of that was due to my out-of-state plates.




Now when I find myself in the wrong lane and need over at the last minute will people still let me in? Were they just being nice to the out-of-towner? I guess I will find out soon enough.

I am glad to have had the "I'm not from here" excuse the past few months as I have learned to negotiate a bigger city and the many unfamiliar winding streets and hills of Salem.
