Woke up to a heat wave yesterday morning.
 

Can you feel it?



How cold was it the last couple of days? When the little flinches pooped, steam came out of there butts! You'll have to believe me 'cause I couldn't get any pics. The old goat started with a little TLC but the heater fan was frozen. With a little help from Mr. Herman Nelson, and a timely rap, the fan was thawed out. Cath and Kath took her to town today. It's much warmer today, -9, now that's a heat wave.




Now it's time for a public service announcement. Yesterday, one our friends was contacted by "Windows Techs" informing her that her computer was operating too slow and was infected by viruses. She was given a 1-800- number and told to connect to a site so that the techs could fix her computer. They remotely went through her computer and even commented on some pictures. In the end they tried to get her to buy better protection for her computer.  This is a scam! She had to cancel her credit and debit cards, change passwords, etc. She had to inform the credit bureau, and for a fee, have a warning posted that her identity may have been stolen. As we all know, windows is not smart enough to find 1 bad computer out of all the millions out there, ex. vista. So, if some calls you hang up, if you are directed to a site and they ask to remotely control your computer, close the tab. For more info check out the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at
