It is an axiom of my writing life that\nwhenever I publish a book about a specific subject (not a memoir or\nnovel) the better stories about the subject emerge after the books\ncome out. This happened with Vortex, the Blazers, Yaquina Bay Bridge,\nSometimes a Great Movie and the rain book. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So it is true with Oregon Tavern Age as\nI distribute it around Oregon in the most haphazard fashion. It’s in\nbars, gas stations, bookstores, coffee shops, a bowling alley, a\nlaundromat, etc. I heard an incredible story in a dive bar in\nReedsport about the owner. He annually buys a dozen or so frozen\nturkeys and then strings them up in snags in some burned over\nclearcut outside of town. The OTA regulars show up with rifles and\nbeer and booze and then they have a competition where marksmen try to\nhit the string and drop the turkey. You do that, you get the turkey.\nYou get nothing for hitting the turkey. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You scoff? I saw the pictures on a slide show on an OTA’s Ipad. He was there! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t get no more Oregon than this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Help me get OTA out! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
