The big news around here is that George W. Bush came to town. Ironically, he came to talk about healthy forests and programs to help cut down the forest fire danger, but was pre-empted from Camp Sherman to Redmond because of forest fires.
Here are some links:
- Local story on Bend.com
- The CNN story
- One from the San Francisco Chronicle (!), detailing more about the fires
- Story from KOIN, the CBS affiliate in Portland
And Jake over on UtterlyBoring has blogged a bit about it, too, both here and here.
