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.
Albert Einstein said, “Many times a day I realize how much my own life is built upon the labors of my fellowmen, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as possible."
Mickey Mantle once observed that “A team is where a boy can prove his courage, on what he can do himself or on what he can contribute to the team’s good. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.”
While the NRA sometimes oversteps itself in the defense of all guns for all people, as does the AARP in its policy of fighting any effort to modify Social Security or Medicare, even to save both programs; New York’s Attorney General calling the NRA a “terrorist organization” and her effort to have it dissolved are so far out of line with reality and both the First and Second Amendment as to be laughable.
Attorney General, Kamala Harris once proudly proclaimed herself as California’s “Top Cop.” Now she characterizes the anarchists that are rioting nightly in Portland and physically attacking law enforcement simply as “mothers and veterans.” That’s as absurd as Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s claim that looters, seen breaking into jewelry and electronics stores, are just “stealing a loaf of bread to feed their families.”
Former astronaut Michael Massimino makes an interesting observation in that “We are away from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives right now; that’s the way it is in space as well.”, says Massimino. “You can do some really thoughtful, quiet thinking about what life is about while you’re in those situations.”
