Jack This is a sign!! (think divine intervention) Tomorrow when U.S Bank opens for business, all outstanding mortgages, auto loans, personal lines of credit, and all credit card debt for all Portlanders will be "Wiped Clean"...Yes I know U.S Bank is headquartered in Minneapolis, however, one can only dream!
Peace.
