So many scams, so little time…

It seems like all the news outlets are talking today, about the scam purporting to offer Costco $75 online coupons, in exchange for propagating the scam to your friends. So sad that they need to offer this one specific scam warning... Especially considering that there are thousands of scams out there that sound equally juicy, but are equally fake and usually very malicious. It might be wise, to remember the old adage: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!“ Maybe another good thing to remember, is that the Internet is a huge game-changer, because it allows anyone on the planet to contact you - bringing the criminals right to you - wherever you are.

Here are a few general guidelines from the FTC for avoiding being defrauded.

Claude Monet Exhibit

Just finished walking through a wonderful exhibit of Claude Monet‘s work at the Denver Art Museum! I didn’t realize, or probably had forgotten, that four of the places he focused on were Paris, London, Venice, and the French/Italian Riviera. So, not only did I get to enjoy his beautiful work, but it brought back so many memories of visiting those places… and also his final residence with that magnificent garden in Giverny!

Around the World westbound!

I finally completed my "round-the-world westbound" adventure, flying the Cirrus Vision SF-50  personal jet! Feel free to read about the whole trip, in the separate blog I created, to tell the story of that adventure, which has an individual blog post for each flight. The Blogger site I'm using, automatically puts the most recent blog post at the top, which makes it a little tricky to read the posts in the order I published them. Here's a link to the first blog post. Once you get there, you can click on the "Newer Post" link at the bottom, to show the next post, and follow the story in the order it was posted.
