    Don't know if wire lettuce's time has come, but in the season between the muddy winter thaw and the ripening of foxtail and June grasses (whose prickly awned fruits cling and burrow mercilessly into pantlegs, bootlaces, and stockings), I enjoy tramping the remote and desolate hills and dry treeless vales of Malheur County Oregon.
