This bloody heat...

I came across this quotation by none other than Jane Austen re the ferocious heat:

"What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps one in a continual state of inelegance.”

How did a scammer get my iphone number??

I received a text message today (supposedly from USPS) saying a book I ordered is being held due to a faulty
address and would I please go to (link) to remedy the problem.

It was a scram, for sure-- but I couldn't help wondering how those people got my iphone number
and
Is my iphone in danger of being hacked?

If so, is there a program that could go through and delete any nefarious items?

Thank you

Dire Straits (from Alchemy)-- live version of "Romeo and Juliet"

One more I wish to include-- at least for now...

Ray put together this video to give us a glimpse on how it is "On the Road" with the Kinks. Enjoy!!

Another gem by the Kinks: "Lost and Found"

I love the Kinks’ videos— this one is obviously one of Ray’s productions. Sweet, funny, quirky, with ultimately a happy ending. Plus, the song is real gem.

The Kinks live-- Celluloid Heroes (love the intro)

How hot was it today where you live? -- UPDATE

I live in SF Bay Area (North Bay), and it reached 84 degrees. Too hot for me!!

I'm updating this to Saturday-- right now it's a cool 64 degrees, but with an inevitable warming trend this next week. Oh well...
