Got interviewed over the phone (I don't like being on camera) by KTVZ about downtown Bend about, of all things, tariffs. Told the reporter I hadn't noticed anything. (I wish I'd added that I didn't think it was a good idea...")

She seemed fascinated by the fact I'd owned the store for 42 years. (It's 41, but I misspoke and didn't feel like correcting myself.) So she kept asking questions.

Thing is, the feature is going to be short, and I'm not the only one interviewed, so I'll probably only be quoted for a couple of sentences, if that. You just never know what they're going to select. 

It's going to drive my friend Tyson crazy. He's been trying to get me interviewed by KTVZ for years and I've always refused. At this point, it's like I'm the Great White Whale he can't quite catch. But fair is fair, I wasn't on camera, which is the part I always wanted to avoid.
