Yesterday, whether you knew it or not, 99 countries computers were hacked. This involved over 45,000 computer systems from the National Health Service in the U.K. to Fed Ex here at home. A ransomware virus was used and ransom demands were announced. This shows just how fragile we are as a society. If these same people wanted to, they could have just shut down all computers for who knows how long. Apparently the World has no clue on how to secure their computers which just about everything in our lives are dependent on. Not a real good feeling.
Now I don’t want to be a pessimist, but with that wacko in North Korea and our Pres who can’t stay off Twitter (why doesn’t he just shut the hell up!) and World financial markets in turmoil, artificially propped up by fiat (fake) money, and terrorists who want to destroy us and our way of life, and our politicians who are so misguided that they insist on fighting with each other instead of fixing what’s wrong in our Country, I’d say we’re in a bit of a pickle! (always wanted to say that) So, you’ve heard it before and it may sound like the boy who cried wolf, but you must now, today, or as soon as possible, buy some extra food, stash some cash at home, keep your gas tank always halfway full, and store some water. There’s a lot more you can do but that’s a good start. I’d also stay close to home this summer if you can, for at least the next few months. I’m hoping things don’t ramp up too fast as I’m gone until the 25th, ugh. Now to the day…
Yesterday Lori worked until about 5:30. I picked the boys up at 3 after a quick trip to Denver. After work Lori took Mojo up the hill where he ran off after a deer. Needless to say, that extended her walk. Ty scored 100% on his quiz in Science, it was on the woman’s menstrual cycle, what fun. Jag had a bit of a rough day after school but has been playing a game on line with his friends and is fine. Ty and Max from school are filming a movie for Mandarin class today and he’s dressing up as a Panda Bear. We ordered a $25 costume from Amazon that arrived yesterday.
Today Lori, Jag and I are headed down the hill for haircuts for those two and a few errands. We’ll then stop by my Mom’s to celebrate Mother’s Day. We should be home by about 7. I’d better get moving so have a good weekend, God Bless.
