Jefferson, USA - a mythical West Coast state of mind

Dig this tidbit 

of PacCoast history:

a separatist US "state"

straddling the Beaver State /

Golden State border, capital in Yreka,

California - (where Maria is terminating 

Arnold's access to her bedchamber),

a marital property state of mind . . .

Now cast yours back to 1941 -

The bad Japs attacked &

Jefferson folded fast

for national unity.

I kept tuning into Jefferson Public Radio while driving through southern Oregon & northern California last week.  Then, this morning in the Hood, I hear a novelist on Oregon Public Broadcasting talk about the state of Jefferson - as it was in '41 & stills exists in anarchist/crank imagination.
