Apparently, I have unintentionally insulted an entire region of central Oregon with my blatant misspellings in my previous blog entries. As a native Oregonian (99.9% native), this is an egregious error and I stand ready to be banished to northern Idaho as a result of my foibles and ignorance. Please forgive me Ochoco National Forest. I will never make your Oh into I again.
(Many thanks to my wife the spelling and grammar drill sergeant. Why she is not working for a national publisher or major newspaper as a technical editor, I'll never know. My poetry stands corrected, though still in earnest.)
