For perspective, somebody died in the Sandy River again yesterday. I
mentioned to my wife that this old man augured his jet and died doing
something he loved after living a long, successful life. Meanwhile, we've
watched teenagers use the "DO NOT JUMP FROM BRIDGE" sign as a handhold while
they jumped from the bridge and smacked their brains all over the rocks
below. Oregon is at, what, 20 drowning deaths this year since June 1?

But they don't set fire to any houses when they go splat.

Is the crash site still identified as NE 58th? That's north of
Baseline, south of Cornell and a little west of 231st, essentially 1.5
miles off the approach end of 30. Just from a noise standpoint, that's
a dumb**** place to site housing.
