For non-Oregonians, the New Carissa is a famous ship here that crashed on the Oregon coast in 1999, spilled a bunch of oil, and stuck in the sand as a nuisance/tourist attraction. When I first moved here in 2001 and introduced myself, people without fail made some joke about me crashing into Oregon. When they finally started dismantling the remaining piece of the ship in 2008, I got a whole new round of jokes and a front page newspaper headline: New Carissa, Manageable or Madness? That one is still on my fridge.
