I am sad to say I had to put Sampson my dog down today. It’s been less than a week that I wrote One Old German about him but he took a turn for the worse. Perhaps it was the high temperatures we have had the last few days or it was just finally time [...]
I was out on the road at work today and I saw very black smoke rising down the road away’s and knew it was a bad fire. I hadn’t heard the fire department so I drove down to find this RV pretty well up in flames. I called it in to dispatch however the FD [...]
Not a bad Saturday so far, a little afternoon delite with my sweety . That sure makes for some contentment. I must have wore him out, he had to take a nap. We have company coming later so we had to play early. The official report right now says the temp is 94 Degrees. It’s [...]
Today Rosie Sizer officially became Chief of Police for Portland. She was appointed interim a couple of months ago after then Chief Derrick Foxworth was put on administrative leave while the city investigated allegations of misconduct made by a desk clerk he had a relationship with some years back.

I am a sergeant for a medium size police department in the great Pacific NW. I have been a cop for over 20 years and I love the job. My partner and I have been together for almost fifteen years. We have a cat (or better yet he allows us to live in his house [...]
This has been a long work week. It always seems that way when I do more administrative work. I didn’t get out on the road much this last week. Meetings, interviews and lots of paperwork kept me in the office. One of the hats I wear as a sergeant is the equipment, uniforms and kind [...]
For sure one of Portland’s Finest Every year I try to get into Portland for the Grand Floral Parade at the Rose Festival. I don’t go so much to watching the parade. I go to see old friends that in many cases I haven’t seen since the last parade and hopefully meet a few new. [...]
I got my long awaited tattoo yesterday. I had been working with an artist named Willow from Two Chicks Tattoos (see My First Tattoo) who was working on a design with a bear theme. She worked up a piece for me and although it was very good it didn’t jump out and grab me. It [...]
