Worth Pondering…
Eastern Oregon
Crow’s feet and squint marks were chiseled into the hammered-copper face of the cowboy and steady eyes met the gaze of a stranger openly.
His faded jeans, checkered shirt, pointed boots, and curl-brimmed straw hat were his uniform, and he stood at the jack pine corral, one foot on a lower rail, as he answered the question with a good-natured patience.
“Travel? Where would I go?
This is Oregon—I’m already there.
—Thomas K. Worcester, A Portrait of Oregon
