Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for January 18, 2022

The name “Bend” was derived from “Farewell Bend”, the designation used by early pioneers to refer to the location along the Deschutes River where the town was eventually platted, one of the few fordable points along the river.

And Deschutes itself was named by French trappers, meaning “the rapids.” Bend is a great little city in an amazingly beautiful part of the country. In the famous words of one of our iconic former governors, “Come visit but don’t stay.”

Is that anything like Y, Arizona…

I used to love playing Oregon Trail.

Now do one of Boring, Oregon.

Bend there done that.

I’ve alway’s thought of Bend as a bit Left leaning. Though now with all the people moving there and crowding up the place . . .

Is Ziggy going to the last remaining Blockbuster Video store?

Bend Oregon? Sorry, but I’m not that strong. You’ll have to bend it yourself.

Like Intercourse Pennsylvania?

i would think that should be a hard left, but just guessing

I have cousins in Bend Oregon, but I’ve never been there.

I don’t remember that bend in Bend.

Looks alot like Aug. 17, 2020
