Yeah, when I incorporated back in '01, I did it in Oregon, knowing we were likely to move there within a few years. All my advisors said that was a mistake, that I should incorporate in Delaware or somesuch. I was more libertarian, then. But even then, my ethos was to try to contribute to my locale (network or geo). So incorporating in some far flung place just doesn't seem right. Since we're still only 2 hours from PDX, I figure it's still roughly local.

Just this morning, I saw a van delivering groceries to the neighbors <https://www.imperfectfoods.com/>. And although everything about it sounds good, that they're based in CA makes me resist, perhaps in order to find something *local*. We have a cool little store less than a mile away that seems responsible and is owned by a long-term family in these parts.
