Grapes of Wrath...Oregon Style

Yeah, we look like the Joads moving from Oklahoma to California. Nope, just us moving from the Willamette Valley to Southern Oregon. 

Here's one of my favorite (longish) quotes from the book (one of my favorite books, by the way):

"Before I knew it, I was sayin' out loud, "The hell with it! There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do. It's all part of the same thing...I says, 'What's this call, this sperit? An' I says, 'It's love. I love people so much I'm fit to bust, sometimes'...I figgered, 'Why do we got to hang it on God or Jesus? Maybe, I figgered, maybe it's all men an' all women we love; maybe that's the Holy Sperit - the whole shebang. Maybe all men got one big soul ever-body's a part of.' Now I sat there thinkin' it, an all of a sudden - I knew it. I knew it so deep down that it was true, and I still know it."
