Ladybird, Ladybird, fly away home… The truth on Lady Beetles
The truth on Lady Beetles
Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are gone
All except one, and that's Little Anne
For she has crept under the warming pan.
In Medieval England, farmers would set fire to old hop vines after the harvest in order to clear the fields for the next planting.

Zappa Plays Zappa coming to town… and Deer Tick plays tonight
Zappa Plays Zappa is coming to town and Deer Tick plays tonight.
I’ll admit that I’m not a Frank Zappa enthusiast, but I’m aware of a bucketful of folks here in Bend that worship at the alter of perhaps the only man to have earned the title of “rock and roll composer.” And they’re in luck because there’s some Zappa music coming to town.

The Yard Dogs Road Show's Hobo Delight
The hobo cabaret comes to Bend.
Yard Dogs Road Show has a new EP, entitled September Summer, but that really doesn't especially matter because this is a band that almost certainly won't make any sense to you merely on record. And that's not to say YDRS, a San-Francisco-based traveling variety show (of sorts), isn't a collectively talented musical troupe, because it certainly is.

The Wrong Way to Protect River Access Rights
Oregon rivers and the floating easement
Many areas of law are murky, but the law governing access to Oregon rivers and their banks is a veritable Okefenokee Swamp.
