I've worked in downtown Davenport for more than 10 years. I was commuting 35 miles every day and decided that was enough... moved to the west end of town, near Kimberly, in July.
If you want to know more, my blog is alansheaven.blogspot.com Most of the messages here are actually a feed from my blog.
Of course, you could always shoot me an e-mail and ask as well. :-)

While there is a big part of me that has little sympathy for someone who breaks the law, there's still something about this that just doesn't hit me the right way.
There's a bit of guilty until proven innocent involved here. Certainly, the arrested will have his or her day in court but there is a very definite implication with the posting of these photos that the accused has already been found guilty.
Our uniformed finest do a great job but mistakes do happen, and what of the stigma that is now attached to the innocent person who has had their photos posted here for all to see?
Beyond that, what of the screen capture images that, in this internet day and age can last for the rest of the innocent person's life?
The potential harm to an innocent person may be far greater than the gain of showing the photos of the guilty.

I've been a Vikings fan for more than 40 years. I wish I could argue with you but, sadly, I can't. I am so incredibly upset at all of this that I've thought about hanging up my purple jerseys. This will not only blow up in Childress's face this year... it will also hurt the Vikings in the future. Next year they'll be a year older, Favre will be gone and probably either Jackson or Rosenfels as well, and they'll be no closer to having their quarterback problem solved.
