This will take a little effort on your part. You'll have to pass the
screen that asks you to enter a zip code and an age and a gender--
fictional answers work just fine--go to the Oregonian page and then
click on "today's photos." Hit the chevron on the right to go nine
photos in, and you'll find shots of people racing half-ton
pumpkins...across a pond.
Apparently this originally was Walter's idea, or that of someone in
his neck of the woods, but we Oregonians have copied it and the
Fourth Annual West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta will take place this
weekend. No doubt Walter and Robert will meet in the final. I'd be
carrying the flag of Scotland in one of the early heats were it not
for a different, and equally wet, commitment involving crabs.
Carry on.
