Cucumber Sale?

Like most people I know, I check my phone when I hear the 'ping' of an incoming text. There are some folks I "talk" to entirely by text messages. Given my aversion to talking on the phone sometimes, it works out nicely for me. So, I'm peacefully reading the newspaper and drinking my coffee this morning when I hear a 'ping', so I pick up my phone and look to see who's texting me. Would you believe the text says, "Cucumbers on sale today!"?

Thinking I'm being pranked by one of my friends, I open the message. Sure enough, it's an advertisement for fresh cucumbers from Safeway's Just For U program! Now I've gotten used to my email being half ads some days. And my Facebook page being constantly hi-jacked by people using it to sell their stuff. But now I guess my texts are fair game as well...

To my frustration, it turns out that the document I tried to email yesterday did not go through. I spent some time today fruitlessly trying to get the eFax program on my printer to work. I finally gave up and took it into the Fountain Hills Post Office and sent it by snail mail. I'm going to have to figure out how to find somewhere to have my computer worked on before I need to be sending tax info back and forth to our accountant.

It was another gorgeous day today. We could almost see the snow melting on the mountains across the valley. Another day or two like today and Four Peaks will be clear again.
