Doc Kevin is most likely right if your fried is on any of the social network sites either personal or professional is where they get the info. He should not only change passwords but let the sites know someone may be using them this way. One of the best ways to stop that is always use one important piece of data that is not correct. A different middle initial or one day off on your birthday anything that will let you know it is not official from one of your secure accounts. Who cares if social network info is not accurate.

And Garry, it ain't the redhead. He'd be dead by now. LOL
I think I remember her saying she carries a .38 in the leg pocket of her pants, I wouldn't mess with her either

He found a pretty decent one during his "detour". Bob, 80-ton coal trucks cross that little "hill" every day, believe it or not. Just remember one thing--when you're driving on a narrow road with no center line, it's still a two-lane road, and you have to anticipate on-coming cars, especially in the blind curves. You had my heart jumping when we took that drive and you were hugging the inside of those left-handers.

I still can't believe you guys were here. It was just a really good experience all around. We need to do it again.

Hehe. That's the one I'm talking about. We still had a handful of attendees who didn't listen to my warning about that road and put their trust into their navigation program instead.

Doc,

It would be nice if you guys would invest in some guard rails on those mountain roads, the trees help but I'm sure if you go off the road it'd be like a game of Plinko. I also like the way they take care of pieces of asphalt that wash out, don't rebuild it, just paint the road edge stripe around it.

Hey, I'm used to driving on wider roads made for two cars to pass each other. With the fatfenders it's hard to see the right hand side of the road.

Guard rails are for sissies.
Besides, if there were guard rails, where would you bail when you meet a coal/log truck coming down the middle of the road?

Where would all the guys on the HAMB find those great rusty hulks they drag out of the valleys and ravines? Give them a few years to wash all the blood and guts out of them and the make great hot rods.

There's a road around here everyone calls Hog's Back road. It's fairly reminiscent of the roads down by Doc's, narrow and curvy with a decent 50 foot drop on both sides. Up until a few years ago there were a half a dozen old car carcasses down the side of it. Didn't look like many of the occupants crawled out of them without some assistance.

What? You can't even get free stuff in the mail anymore without it being a scam? Paypal should be up on this approach. Thanks for sharing, this might be the next big thing for con artists. Kinda like, " Hi, I'm a saudi prince that needs your help getting $12.5 million dollars into the US."
Good luck, Jag.
