Hello, Blogolanders. A great day; I got a lot done. The bathroom sparkles and my so-called garden has been weeded and raked. What I'm really posting about is frauds on-line. Earlier this week, someone broke into George Muschal's computer and sent out an e-mail requesting $3,000 because he was in Spain with a sick cousin and short of cash. Hopefully, everyone realized it was a scam and ignored it. Should any of you receive such an e-mail from, "me," ignore it. About a year ago, I received such an e-mail from a neighbor and knew damn well she was not in Spain. This one claimed she had been mugged and a long with all her money her passport had been stolen and the embassy refused to help. That was bullshit. That's one of the functions of an embassy - to help with lost passports. Stealing an American passport is a very serious crime since it is the property of the United States Government. And believe me, if I were ever stranded overseas without money, I WOULD CONTACT MY SISTER!
It took Mrs. Muschal about two days to clear everything out. I admire her patience with this all.
