Scammer call...

I had a call from a scammer the other day. 📞😄

Me: “Hello.”

Scammer: (Heavy Foreign Accent) “Hello. This is Tom Smith from Microsoft Support. We are seeing a lot of virus activity coming from your device.”

Me: “Oh no. My device? Are you sure?”

Scammer: “Oh yes, Madam. We have many reports.”

Me: “Oh, jeez. How can I fix it?”

Scammer: “It’s okay, Madam. We can help you right now. Are you in front of your device?”

Me: “Yes. I was just about to use it. I’m glad you called.”

Scammer: “Good, Madam. Please push the Start button.”

Me: “I think it’s already on.”

Scammer: “Okay, Madam. Now click on Control Panel.”

Me: “I don’t see that.”

Scammer: “Do you see a bunch of information above the Start button?”

Me: “Yes.”

Scammer: “That is your Control Panel.”

Me: “Wow. I didn’t realize it had a name.”

Scammer: “Yes, Madam. Now press Internet Options.”

Me: “I don’t see any Internet options. I don’t think I bought that feature. This is just a cheap one.”

Scammer: “All devices have Internet, Madam. Press the Start button again.”

Me: “Okay. Same as before.”

Scammer: “That’s fine, Madam. We will restart your device. Please turn it off.”

Me: “Um… I don’t know how. I’ve never turned it off. It kind of just stays on.”

Scammer: “There must be an off button. How do you stop it when it’s running?”

Me: “I usually press the big button.”

Scammer: “Okay, Madam. Press that button.”

Me: “Okay.”

Scammer: “Is your device off?”

Me: “No. The door popped open.”

Scammer: “Door? Is there a disc inside?”

Me: “No. There’s a burrito.” 🌯

Scammer: “Why is there a burrito in your computer?”

Me: “Computer? I thought you said this was microwave support.” 😂

Bob Weirs memorial today

I had the good fortune to see/hear Bobby play many times. GD, Ratdog, Bob and Rob etc. Got to meet him once too. Too many feelings to put into words. He will be missed. Thanx for the memories Bob.

I met one of the candidates running for Mike Floods seat

His name is Chris Backemeyer. He has worked in DC for the state dept. He saw how bad it was going to get and he took the buyout. He was at the Flood town hall last summer and decided that someone needed to challenge
him. Seemed to be very knowledgeable about every issue that people asked about. (was at a private house event). So if you know anyone in Nebraska/Floods district let them know about Chris.
He's campaigning on the 3 C's
Cost
Chaos
Corruption
Well spoken about all of them.

To be fair the other candidate is Eric Moyer.

Today's the day....

We had a small warmup rally yesterday. Spoke with some passers by and they indicated that they would join us today at the capitol
We tested our new bullhorn (works well!!) Someone was handing out Tim Snyder's book On Tyranny so I thought it was a very good afternoon.
Signs are ready, camera, case of water to hand out. Enthusiasm is off the charts
Be safe everyone and have a great day!!!

I've been watching some videos from

Anonymous. I feel like they show a good explanation of current events about CK.
The narrator voice is a little much but I think the overall message is on point.
