A story somewhere in the national media very soon: Oregon: Deadliest State in the Lower 48. You doubt? Stay with me here. . .
Recent national Oregon stories: James Kim and family get lost near Grants Pass; James doesn’t make it out. Three climbers get stuck in a blizzard on Mt. Hood; looking pretty bad right now for those guys. If they don’t make it off the mountain, some “pundit” somewhere (back east, most likely) will see these two stories and write something about the Wild West out here, and how Something Must Be Done. Doesn’t help that at least one of the climbers is a NYC attorney . . .
