Getting a crazy amount of spam in my email lately. Almost every single one from a hacked or spoofed .edu account.

Is that junk mail? My junk mail thinks I want to use dating sites, see raunchy photos of Russian chicks or have larger junk.

They are all fake phishing emails trying to get me to open links with an enticement of cheap or free goods or a big discount etc. . I just hover over the sent email and none equate to the "company". Helps that I have no Lowes, Hulu, Starbucks accts so those were easy to pick out even without seeing the .edu sender that they all had. Seriously, one week I got a dozen fake CVS ones. Now I do have an acct with CVS but everyone of these was the same message from a different sender.

1:45 but no going to bed yet. Cop chopper has been flying over the hood for 45 minutes. Has flown directly over my house a dozen times. Cop mobile was parked a few hundred feet down the road with it's spot light shining up my dead end street for a while but they haven't driven up here yet. If they are searching for some dude on foot you'd think he'd give up unless he's dressed REALLY warm. It is below zero and wind chill is -21. If he is hiding somewhere I guess they are planning to freeze him out.

And another low buzz of the house and street. Weird. My neighbors must sleep like logs. Not even seeing lights come on.

We had helicopters flying over our house last night too. They weren't lingering for 45 minutes but they flew by multiple times.

Meth use can cause the user to lose sensation of body temperature. Even in severe cold they may remove most clothes, and freeze to death if not found. On a summer day in the 90's, they may be wrapped up in a snorkel parka.

Did you see that pretty little Ferrari that sold at Mecum for 16 million?

It's a world gone mad with the uber super rich. Was watching a PBS special on the engineering challenges of building to super tall and skinny skyscraper in NY but I kept focusing on the building only having 60 units. $18M to $66M each.

That is a super cool building I've read or saw something about that building at another time forwarded it Architect niece. Never bothered to break it down to the price/unit.
