So, there’s this email scam going around where some guy claiming to be a hitman says you have a contract out on your life. But if you pay him more than whoever took out the contract, he’ll let you live. Now, honestly, if I got an email like that, I’d be calling the cops so fast it would make people’s heads spin. But apparently there are people out there stupid enough to actually pay the scammer!!! Sheesh!
On this date in 1951, CBS aired the first color broadcast. Despite the fact that nobody owned a color TV at the time.
UPDATE: I just learned that Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with cancer. She was only 62.
Rumor has it we’ll have temps next week in the upper 80s!!! I’ll have to break out the parka. *g*
Tonight on TV we have Burn Notice (will Fiona eat anything besides yogurt this week?) and Royal Pains (will we see more of the mysterious German prince Boris?).
Wrote a little over a page last night. My witness finally spilled the beans about what he knows which was a huge relief to me and my detectives.
Well, my dad drove me over to the place that supposedly had $30/hour massages. Went in to see if they had a brochure. The only person available to talk to was a hair stylist who didn’t know much about the massage side of the business. But the signs inside had higher rates than were listed outside. Hmm. That makes me kind of suspicious. Then I realized that the massage therapist there was male. I’ve only ever gone to female MTs. I’m not too sure I’m comfortable with the idea of letting a strange man work on me. So, now I’m back to square one on the MT front. Guess I’ll have to call around to the other places.
But after that, Dad dropped me off at the library. This is a bigger and vastly better branch of our little library system. I’d never been there before but they’re my new favorite place to go. Lots and lots of new-to-me books to read! And their a/c actually cools the building off. What a concept! (It’s always hot in the branch I usually visit.) Unfortunately, I didn’t have my list with me of books I want to read, so I had to make do with just four books that I managed to remember.
Tonight on TV we have reruns of Ghost Hunters and Leverage. I’ll also be watching Wipeout I’m rather ashamed to say. The announcers crack me up. And we all need a good laugh.
It’s already up to 95 degrees with a heat index of 109. And I really need to get out this afternoon and check out that massage therapy place. *fanning* Wish it wasn’t so dang hot!
In other news, TV host Ed McMahon passed away overnight. He was 86.
I’m drawing a blank on anything entertaining to talk about today. I blame the heat. It’s melted my brain even though I’m not out in it.
The only thing on tonight is Life After People which I’ll be recording. Last night I watched Poirot. Good stuff.
But apparently there are people out there stupid enough to actually pay the scammer!!! 
Sheesh!
