I don't need to know how

Here's what's on our radar this week:

The WeatherBug app

many miles away the nearestlightning bolt struck in the past15 minutes.

But I absolutely want toknow.

I also want to know what theforecast high temperature is fornextThursday.

In Munich.Even though I probably won't

be there.I also own nine thermometers,

two anemometers and a rain

gauge, these instruments distributed around my 9,000-squarefoot property.

Naturally I have the WeatherBug app on my Android smartphone.

I am not app-obsessed.But I am weather-obsessed,

and WeatherBug is the mostdetailed and user-friendly app ofits kind that I've tried.

In particular I like the realtime lightning function, whichmaps the location of the mostrecent strikes and tells you, to

on.

Music QaACatching up with one of Northeast Oregon's favorite musical acts:

K.C. KunkleThis week Go! interviews La

Grande disc jockey KC. Kunkle.

Go!: How did you get started?Earliest inspirations?

Kunkle: When I was a sophomore in high school one of myfiiends (Corby Makin) picked upthe guitar and he was excellingat it. I just knew that I had moremusical talent in my bones, so Idecided to learn guitar, too. He wasalways one step ahead of me so Ireally competed with him whilemaintaining our fiiendship. ThenI started playing in the high schoolpep band and I was hooked. I justcouldn't get enough fiom that day

Myearliestinspiration wouldhave to be m y dad, Ken Kunlde. Igrew up going to old-time fiddlershows that he played in. Dad wouldalso invite people to jam with himat different family gatherings. Mydad knew I had a talent for music,so one dayhe bribed me. He told

me,"KC., ifyou do something withmusic, even ifitis just singingin choir, for all four years ofhighschool, your mother and I will buyyou an Xbox," So it's reallymy dad'sfault I fell in love with music.

Go!: What kind of music do youplay?

Kunkle: I play a pretty eclecticrange of music. I always tellpeople, "I've got a little somethin'for everyone." I play oldies rock,classic rock, '90s country, and

classic country. It's just good, funmusic to sing along with that getpeople's toes tappin'.

Go!: Who are your favoritemusicians and why?Kunkle: I have been finding

lately that my musical tasteshave started to change. I havereally been enjoying Johnny Cash,Chuck Berry and Fats Dominolately. But ifyou ask my wife,Vicki, she will tell you that anysong by Journey will get me going.

the tenth of a mile, how far awaythey hit.

WeatherBug automatically adjusts when you travel, so if you'rein, say, Boise, Idaho, the app willshow the Boise temperature andDoppler radar.

But you can also manuallychoose any of the locations yousave on the app.W eatherBug is available for

iPhones as well as Android.

Luke Bryan "Kill the Lights"(Capitol Music Nashville)

Luke Bryan, the country singerwith the coolly emotive voice,showed last week on the Billboardcharts just how popular he is. Hisnew album, "Kill the Lights," debuted atop the chart, topping eventhe sound track to "Straight OuttaCompton," the N.WA. biopic someare calling the film of the summerand maybe the year.

Bryan is successful because heknows how to party, as in his hit"Crash My Party."And on"Kill theLights," that festive atmosphereis certainly there, as in"Kickthe Dust Up," with its rhythmic,line-dancing groove. But"Killthe Lights" also shows him doingsomething he hasn't done before:growing up.

With Little Big Town vocalistKaren Fairchild as his partner,Bryan settles into a life of devotion on'To the Moon and Back."With the love-her-right-or-lose-hertheme of"Just Over," he shows heactually can handle subtext whilecommunicating a genuine senseofhurt.

Bryan is used to playing thecocksure romancer, but he hasnever loved from behind the eightball, as he does on "Strip It Down."

So Social: Every social media plan starts with a recipe

SCOTT KI.EINBERGGoNortheastoregon.com

was watching a cooking showwhen the inspiration hit for this

So Social column.I don't cook, butit's interesting

just how much cooking and socialm edia have in common. They bothrevolve amund recipes with a pinchof this, a dash of that and a whole

gscottkleinberg

lot of trial and error.OK, let me give this cooking

thing a try. Here's my recipe for agood social media plan.

Gather your ingredientsYou know whatyou want to

m ake, butyou should make sureyou have the rightingredientsbefore starting. If you do cook, youknow what I mean. The first timewas daunting, but now it's secondnature. Social media is the sameway — once you do it a few times,you11 be much more confidentabout doing it again. And just as notwo recipes are the same, no twosocial media plans are the same.

Know your audience and where itis, and the rest will come to you as ifyou've been doing it for years.

Pour everything into bowlThis is where you get your hands

dirty. Start mixing things. A bitof Facebook, some Twitter. Don'tworry about adding too much of onething; there's time to correct andcompensate. Here's where that trialand error comes in: No one expectsthe perfect dish on the first try.

Add a pinch of this and thatYou think you'd benefit with a

bit of Instagram and some livestreaming video, but you don't

know how much. That's OK too.Add some — you can always addmore or take some away later.Unlike mom's meatloat; this recipemight not stand the test of time.Social media is constantly changing, and while you might get plentyof compliments, it doesn't mean youshouldn't be open to reinterpretation. And even though it's hard tomeasure everythingright downto the most minute detail, doingso makes it easier to re-create therecipe the next time.

It's ready when it's readyDon't be alraid to keep people

waiting. They're hungry, but good

things come to those who wait. Youmight be better offletting something stew for a while before pullingit off the burner. That describessocial media perfectly — sometimesa little more marinating makes allthe difference. Go too fast and yourisk sacrificing flavor where youneed it most.

Let it cool. Enjoy the leltoversYou made your dish for break

fast, but who says it wouldn't makefor a great dinner the next day?That's how so many social mediaposts work: You try it once in themorning, but no one says you can'ttry it again the following evening.

'Into lhin Air ' tackles

1996 Mt. Everestclimbing accident

Until last spring — whenm ore than 20 people died

in an avalanche sparked by anearthquake — one of the mosthigh-profile tragedies connected toclimbing Mt. Everest was the 1996disaster that killed eight climbers.

That incident is the subject ofJon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air:A Personal Account of the Mt.Everest Disaster." Since he penned"Into Thin Air," Krakauer has added to his collection of good reads,including the recently published"Missoula: Rape and the JusticeSystem in a College Town."

Essentially, "Into Thin Air" is apersonal account of the author'ssuccessful attempt to summit Mt.Everest and a subsequentfreakstorm that produced a shovelfulof tragedy that killed a numberof climbers, including two veryexperienced guides. The twoguides — Rob Hall, who managed Adventure Consultants,and Scott Fischer, who operatedMountain Madness — both diedon Everest on May 11, 1996.Krakauer — who was with Hall'sAdventure Consultants — madeit to the top of the world's highestmountain that day and then madeit back down to a base camp justin time to miss the freak stormthat emerged. The book chronicles

Krakauer's journey and presentsthe reader with a fairly straightforward view of the economicelement to ascending the world'shighest peak. And economics doesplay a big role. Individuals witha craving to climb Everest investthousands of dollars into theirdream, including large sums tooutfitting firms like Hall's Adventure Consultants. Competitionbetween these firms is, of course,intense. The goal for such companies is to get their clients — whohave paid thousands — to the topand back down again. ClimbingMt. Everest isn't easy, obviously.Krakauer does an outstanding joboutlining how difficult the task is.

From lack of oxygen — supplemented past certain altitudeswith oxygen bottles — to coldtemperatures that are truly otherworldly, the sheer physical beatingclimbers take is eye-opening. Thebook gives readers a close-upview of the people who paid smallfortunes to climb the mountain.It is evident that while mountainclimbing skill is important, toactually get on a climb to the top

of Everest is also about money. Orthe ability to pay out large sumsto guide companies to shepherd aclimber to the top.

One major key of the book is thefact that at high altitudes on Everest — the mountain is 29,028 feet— time is the difference betweenlife and death. Loitering — eitherfrom exhaustion or to celebratereaching the highest point onearth — for a minute too long is adeath sentence.

M istakes at that altitude areamplified. The day of the tragedy,a lot of clim bers set out for the topand at one key point in the ascent,a bottleneck occurred thatconsumed valuable time andspelled disaster.

While the book is a good read— and a relatively quick oneafter it was first published in themid-1990s, it attracted criticismfrom some who felt Krakauer gotcertain facts of the tragedy wrong.One big point of contention wasKrakauer's description of theactions of a Russian guide duringthe tragedy.

While one may be able to pickapart every element of the tragedyand then find fault in Krakauer'sdescriptions, it doesn't appear heset out to write a blow-by-blow account of a historical event. Instead,"Into Thin Air" is a book aboutthe high-risk venture of climbingthe world's highest mountain andhow mistakes, even by the mostqualified people, can multiply andevolve into a tragedy. For a good,quick well-written book about areal-life adventure, "Into Thin Air"is a hard one to beat.
