Good morning, Lookout Eugene-Springfield,
Do you feel prepared for wildfire season? If you are like most of the people who replied to a recent public survey from Eugene Springfield Fire, probably not. The survey results turned into the Eugene-Springfield Community Wildfire Protection Plan, and Lillian Schrock-Clevenger and Grace Chinowsky look at what’s included.
This is set to be a hot weekend — like Buster Poindexter hot. So if you need something to do that doesn’t involve baking in the sun, Annie Aguiar has several ideas, including a singer-songwriter at Tsunami Books and no shortage of Nicholas Cage movie screenings.
Speaking of Annie, if you need something to do tonight, she will be throwing out the first pitch at the Eugene Emeralds game at PK Park. If you can’t make it, we will have a video on our Instagram and the Lookout homepage Friday.

There are a few Oregon destinations that I should have visited the first time I lived here, but for whatever reason, didn’t. One of these, Bandon, is high on the list — primarily because of the golf courses. But, as Bill Sullivan shares today, there are plenty of other reasons to head to the southern part of the Oregon Coast.
