Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.
If you are in the “Defund the Police” camp and wonder how that’s working out for the cities that have gone that way you may want to consider that in 2020, the first full year of that mis-guided movement, there were 4900 more murders than in 2019; aggravated assaults were up by 12.1% and violent crime overall was up 5.6%. Not exactly the outcome most law-abiding citizens are looking for.
