Best Places

Money Magazine has Sherwood, Oregon, in its Top 20 Best Places to Live. Sherwood is a bedroom community about ten miles outside Portland.

Sherwood seems kind of the typical suburb to me. What makes Sherwood nicer than most is being in Oregon and being near Portland. Why not just put Portland on the list? Or if suburbs are their ideal, make Sherwood's #18 slot a list of Portland suburbs.

Oh, Money has the numbers that show how they put Sherwood on their list.

Speaking of numbers, I heard a good one recently, it goes something like this: the average person in Sherwood, Oregon, has one testicle.
