What a glorious day -- blue sky, a few fluffy white clouds and warm sunshine. The breeze was a bit cool but pleasant. I enjoyed a walk to the library to return three books -- and still have two to return tomorrow. It would have been too heavy to carry them all at the same time.
While out, I walked a block to the Service Canada office -- the excitement of my day. I received what appeared to be a phishing around lunch time. The recorded voice noted that my social insurance number had been suspended due to fraudulent activity. Since I had just spoken to the real office by phone yesterday, this seemed highly unlikely. The recorded voice asking that I press '1' to continue was a strong clue, too. I chatted with the woman behind the desk today, who confirmed my suppositions. Next step is to register this attempt at fraud on the Canada Fraud Centre website. I wondered if this was something new after the breach in some of the individual information files a couple of weeks ago. It appears this particular phishing attempt has occurred in other areas in the country for several months now. So, not new, but new to me.
The way weather affects mood intrigues me. Today I felt up beat despite the silly phishing scheme. It made me venture out for an early evening walk, just so I could see the blue sky. With the full moon almost here, it will be great to see it for a change. <smile> A song about the sky ran through my mind with the voice of the singer featured here tonight. Stay safe. Enjoy!
Blue Skies -- Willie Nelson
