They tell me Dull and Boring are now "twinned" -- the Boring Community group approved the relationship at their meeting Tuesday night. Our friends are visiting Dull in the Fall. In the '60s we all went to college in the wettest part of Oregon, just north of a town called Drain. There must be a town somewhere looking for a mate? Hole-in-the-Floor? New Zealand place-names are so colourless (boring?).
