The Scammers

[alteredzed]

Are out in force again. Sigh. Both Thing Two and I got texted ones from the “City” about overdue parking fines. Yeah, no.

1. The “City” does not send out parking fines, the Parking Authority for the City does.

2. Fines are against the vehicle not a drivers license.

3. They don’t communicate by text.

4. Or send suspicious links that purport to be “secure payment” portals (parking is not spelled parkiing)

5. We don’t live in the City and were home on the day of the supposed infraction.

6. Thing Two does not own a car, have a drivers license and in fact has never learned to drive.

I guess enough people panic and click through for this garbage to be profitable for these scum sucking bottom feeders.

Question of The Day:

April 11 - Have you ever had a cheese fondue - did you make it yourself, have it at a restaurant or at a friend's place? Did you like it?

Yes, it’s very yummy. I’ve never made it myself, but Mom did all kinds of fondue dishes when I was growing up. There were also a trend for fondue restaurants around the same time and we ate at several different ones, mostly on holiday.

 

Question Catch Up:

March 31 - World Backup Day - have you ever forgotten to back something up and lost it all? Do you back up your data regularly?

So many times. So many. And no I don’t, which you think I would considering, but nope. I have some sort of block on this!

 

March 30 - Earth Hour is a worldwide movement organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The event is held annually, encouraging individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off non-essential electric lights, for one hour from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., usually on the last Saturday of March. Will you be joining in?

We didn’t do it specifically for this, but our usual evening routine always has us with very few lights on and we turn off/unplug any thing that isn’t in use. We also turn down the heat overnight.

March 29 - Pita bread is celebrated today - what is your favourite dish to serve with pita bread?

Depends on the type of pita. Is it Greek style? Then souvlaki, usually chicken, but sometimes pork. If it’s the pocket type, then toasted with hummus and/or tzaziki as a dip.

P.S. Warm again today (14C / 57.2F) but cloudy and somewhat windy.
