18. Quite a few people were initially pooh-poohing these numbers

But I talked with my son last night, and what he told me convinced me these numbers are genuine.

He was traveling in Oregon, and he said every rural Podunk town had an event. Dozens of small communities.

He said even wide spots on the road had off the reservation events.

He gave everyone a horn toot and thumbs up, and still had time to get home an attend the big one in Portland.
