If you saw a man clinging haphazardly to the steel superstructure of the Broadway Bridge this weekend, about 10 feet up, camera in one hand, cars and bikes whizzing by on either side, that was me trying to get the right shot of this anti-war graffiti someone had offered up overnight on two sections of the sidewalk.

"Ross Island, the bridge's namesake, was at one time home to a famous distillery. McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names, an indispensable work, says the island was once legendary for its "'Blue Ruin' whiskey of pioneer days . . . it was a fluid of high voltage." The distillery is gone, and now it is home to a large number of Blue Heron rookeries."
