WELL SAID: “Elections determine who is in power, but they do not determine how power is used.”
— Paul Collier
WELL DONE: At the 90th anniversary event on Oct. 29, Crag Rats’ and Hood River County Sheriff’s Office rescue equipment display, and climbing expert Tim Mortenson’s explanation of the double-roped “mirror” method of lifting patients. Unassuming people assume plenty of responsibility, and danger, for the community good.
SIGN OF THE WEEK: “In case of emergency, use sombrero,” at Dog River, next to appropriate headgear.
BUMPER STICKER of the week: In classic higher ed font, reads simply “COLLEGE.”
SAVE THE DATE: The 20th annual Holiday Fashion Gala at Gorge Room, Best Western Plus Hood River Inn, is back Nov. 17 to support the Hood River Christmas Project.
SEEN AND HEARD: Numerous after-dark walkers (recreational and destinational) in recent weeks dressed all in black, without reflectors or illumination … city leaf sweeper, with an oak branch stuck in its windshield wiper … owner of new car accidentally hitting “SOS” signal while trying to turn on overhead interior light …
HEAD-Y IRONY: A bonafide non-Trump supporter wore the famous read “Make America Great Again,” saying, “When did America stop being great? It’s always been great, and that is why so many people want to come here.”
