Random Stream of Consciousness

I just got off the phone with my dad. He got scammed to the tune of 23,000 on visa and 18,000 on discover. Visa took off the charges but discover is making him go through hoops. At present there is still 10,000 outstanding. I told him if discover won't take it off tell them "I'm 90 years old, I can't pay that I won't pay it and you can't make me pay it, stick it up your ass."
You know what would be great? If we put the CIA after these guys and start grabbing them. Word would get out. Might cut down on the rampant scamming going on these days.

The scams that target the elderly are especially heinous.

I will often get calls from my Mother (she's 79) like this:

Mum: "I just got this email and it says my Visa has been compromised"
Me: "Have you used it recently?"
Mum: "I use the Amex for online"
Me: "What address is the email from? Click the address"
Mum: "[email protected]"
Me: "Uh, huh. Delete that please"

All it takes is one errant click and they can get ya. Truly the worst of the worst.

So true @DMChiz - be vigilant for scammers. I usually get one of these rando calls daily and they all go like this.

Phone: RING RING ...
Me: Hello?
Phone: Delayed hissing ...
Me: FUCK RIGHT OFF!
Phone: CLICK!

Morning all
I'm at my work shed, death metal blaring from the radio.
Song finished up, bunch of crows started cawing "WTF was that? "
First time, huh? Lol.

Good morning, happy Wednesday. We're half way there.

And livin' on a prayer ... morning!

Fuck ... and I forgot to get a present.

I think I'm going to be cleaning dirty paws all day.

Good morning dolls. Pretty thick fog for the second day, I'm speaking meteorologically, not metaphorically. Golf staycation is over, I blew up horribly the second day, oh well. Felt like I was encased in lead all day. Back to growing. I have a shipment out for delivery from Floraflex. Stay Tooned!

Aww, shucks!

Another grey & meh one. I’ll head to the office for a little. Change of scenery for shits and giggles.

Once the rain stops there will be much leaf raking. Damn ash tree.

What does one get a website for their one year? Flowers? Chocolate?

In my years of experience, security patches are always nice.

Al Stewart never included the part about fucking shithousery squared ... real hard to find a rhyming lyric.

2 more days of 99 degrees and then we get some fall weather.
