BERRY HARVEST BERRY GOOD

After picking raspberries yesterday, the grand total for berry picking has exceeded 135 pounds. Mom now has four boxes of jams, jellies and all sorts of stuff canned and ready to go to Vegas.

Because of the significant risk of damage in flight and the quantity of what she's canned, she'll be renting a car one-way to begin the drive back home on Sunday morning. Tom & Kate - be expecting a visitor Sunday evening; when she gets there, offer to take her out for a razzleberry pie and snap a photo of her reaction.

SHOCKING RATING FOR PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

Has anyone actually checked to see what the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie was rated?

It's rated Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr...

BEND TRIP UP IN FLAMES?

No, but Sisters might be a little smokey when we visit tomorrow.

It seems the Link Fire, a bit out of town but not far from Highway 20, is threatening to shut down the popular luxury golf resort Black Butte Ranch. Their website has an unfortunate, and it appears unintentional, web special advertisement scrolling on the page stating "Hot Dates! Hot Deals!".. classic.

The Sisters Chamber of Commerce link above states that the Outdoor Quilt Show tomorrow is still a go, though my boss informed me that the crowds at the event can sometimes be overwhelming. Here's hoping the fire and smoke scares away tourists like so many mosquitos. Actually, my boss may have to change his vacation destination to the coast - he and his family had planned on a week at Black Butte Ranch.

I don't know what all else we'll visit tomorrow, but we'll likely see the quilt show, Sisters, Redmond, Bend, maybe Sunriver or Mt. Bachelor


and hopefully Smith Rock.
