Say What?
Oregon water is the best
When people in central Oregon’s Madras, Culver and Metolius turn on their taps, untreated spring water flows forth. It costs them less than a penny per gallon. A company in California buys that same water and sells it in big glass jugs for up to $8.60 a gallon around Los Angeles and San Francisco. The jugs are flying off the shelves. — Oregon Live

An employee who accidentally sent a missile alert to residents in Hawaii has been reassigned to other duties, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said on Monday. The agency has received death threats after the unnamed employee sent out the false alert on Saturday, triggering widespread panic across the state. — USAT
