whats it like living in coos bay?

i like coos bay- moved out here for a job ten years ago. plenty of outdoor recreation all year long. not too far from the cities, but far enough. wet winters aren't too bad, but the summer nw winds beat me down. my biggest problem- the pizza is terrible.

got a bread machine?

make pizza dough in that and learn to make your own. sauce is easy.
