Not much to talk about today – just the ongoing heat and the drought, and I’m sick and tired of even thinking about that.
The most exciting thing that’s happened here is that I got an email this morning from Celia Yeary, an author from Central Texas whom I’ve never met, but who follows my blog as I follow hers.
I opened the email to read:
Hope you get this on time,I made a trip this past weekend to Malaga,Spain and had my bag stolen from me with my passport and credit cards in it.The embassy is willing to help by letting me fly without my passport,I just have to pay for a ticket and settle Hotel bills.Unfortunately for me, I can't have access to funds without my credit card, I've made contact with my bank but they need more time to come up with a new one.I was thinking of asking you to lend me some quick funds that I can give back as soon as I get in.I really need to be on the next available flight.
The email, obviously a scam, went on from there.
We’ve all probably seen things like this before, but the thing that bothered me most is that the hacker undoubtedly stole her entire mailing list and there is nothing about this that makes me special at all.
