Hallejuah, It's a new year! :)

So I'm back blogging again and its a new year. Life has been crazy with family, medical and the holidays have left me little time to go visit my old haunts in the Uptown Village and around the Mill Plain race course from I-205 to Camas. 

Ever been to Chuck's or Neighbors Markets? Dare everyone of my readers to go find some new feature in their local neighborhood! Nothing stays congnizantly the same forever. Go out for a walk or a drive and find some thing new. :)

Or you can find me in a local coffee shop listening to KPAM around 3pm with Terry Boyd's World. He's such a caring individual with a fullness of life and vim! So check him online via KPAM's online streaming or their web site.

Squatting in old folks homes... Portland News item....

There is a story going around in the Portland news media about a group of occupiers that are going into older folks or the "not so mentally able" homes and squatting. Now if it is true that these people had information on how to pick locks or used some type of trickery or deception to get into these people's home, is that not concerned forced entry or burglary?

Honestly, if these places had been seriously abandoned and were foreclosures, I might have a different view. 

But to into someone's home and do this, is just way beyond what I consider, beyond reproach or decent. A few people have been arrested and now, I think they should be held to a higher standard that your average drug bust idiot from Downtown Portland Crack-alley victim. 

Here is an example from the Portland Tribune.
