A friend of mine forwarded me a message this morning. I don't usually pass these things along, but this time I tried it out, and it does what it says it will do. This link: , created by John Walsh, will allow you to input your address and see a map of your area. When you click on the dots near your home, you will get a photo of sexual predators and a list of the crimes of which they have been convicted. I found several near my home, which is quite near that of one of my DDs. The other DD also has a few living near her. It's scary.
In light of recent developments here, you may be worried that I'm not "me"; in that case, just click on the link below my signature to get to the main page of my own web site (it's the same link you've already seen many times, if you've been around for any time at all), and go to the bottom of that page, where I have placed a link to the above site.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming. ;)
