I like this ballot measure. Detroit, Oregon is deciding whether to change its name to "Detroit Lake" next Tuesday. The sponsors of the measure don't like their city to be associated with the crime-ridden, dilapidated Motor City located 2000 miles to the east. Can't say I blame 'em. Located on the shore of a beautiful lake in the Cascade Mountains, the two have nothing in common, so a rousing "YES" on this measure. Please forgive me in advance, though, if I still say I'm going fishing "up at Detroit" - it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
