Wonderful pen, it makes me want to visit Oregon in the Fall; very cleverly done.

Alliteration looks easy, but for anyone who has ever done it, there is nothing effortless about it. This one seems effortless, and that is a talent in itself, my friend.

I was thinking how orange this October is, and it came from that.
