| [Friday Joke] Point of View: A man is walking through the woods when he sees a bear charging at him. He books it, but he knows he can’t outrun a bear for long, so he starts praying, “Dear Lord, I beseech thee. Please, o Lord, please let this bear be a Christian!” The bear catches up to him, knocks him down on the ground, then gets on its knees and says, “Dear Lord, thank you for this food I am about to receive…” |

| [Traffic] There were two mega traffic jams last week on US1. There was still another one Tuesday. The south lane was blocked for 6 miles. Luckily, we were in the north lane and breezed right along wondering why the traffic was so backed up for miles again. The County Commissioners want to build more and more and add more and more traffic. Next they will want to 4-lane US-1 and raise taxes to pay for it and pay for the new bridges and buildings. |

| [Spinning Fish] The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council (SAC) ought to address the issue of spinning fish. SAC claims to be responsible for marine conservation and resource protection, yet if they are not addressing clear signs of environmental distress like spinning fish, what exactly are they doing? This phenomenon is an urgent indicator that something is wrong, and the council needs to investigate and provide real solutions, not just hold more meetings. If they ignore it, they’re failing in their mission. Harmful algal blooms, water contamination, disease or parasites – oxygen deprivation (hypoxia)? All of these? |

 [Credit Card Scam] This is (name) and I’m calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460, your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I’m calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by… blab la blaHere’s the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works – The caller then says, ‘I need to verify you are in possession of your card’. He’ll ask you to ‘turn your card over and look for some numbers’. There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of your card number, the last 3 are the Security Numbers that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to read the last 3 numbers to him. After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he’ll say, ‘That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other questions?’ After you say no, the caller then thanks you and states, ‘Don’t hesitate to call back if you do’, and hangs up. You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the card number. The REAL VISA Security Department says this is a scam and what happens is that once you provide them with the 3 digit security code, a new purchase of $497.99 (or whatever they said) gets charged. What the Scammer wants is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Don’t give it to them. Instead, tell them you’ll call VISA or Master Card directly for verification of their conversation. The real VISA will never ask for anything on the card, as they already know the information, since they issued the card! Don’t be a fool. |
