Hi Dave

I just got home from Ballet Arizona's 'Romeo & Juliet':  Spectacular!

But, I come home to this (see below).

As the son of a banker, I simply ask the question, what's wrong with  
this picture?

My question is rhetorical:  I know what's wrong with this picture.

Cheers,
Bob

Debit Card Compromise Letter

Well for the second time in 4 months I have received a letter from my  
bank
indicating that their Credit/Debit card processor has once again  
notified them of a
possible compromise in their system.  My debit card is once again  
being replaced and
I will have to contact anyone that I have used for automatic payment  
using the card
number that the number is changing and that the old card will no  
longer be valid
after I receive my new card.  They don't say how the compromise  
occurred, how they
discovered it or what is being done to prevent it from happening again.

So here we go again,  logging into my account everyday to check and  
make sure that
there are no unexpected transactions.  What a pain!!!!  Is it too much  
to ask that
the banking and credit/debit card folks get their act together and  
figure out a way
to protect my financial information?  Perhaps they could take just a  
portion of the
TARP money that they have received or maybe a portion of the  
additional money that
they are asking for, and instead of using it to buy planes or pay  
bonuses use it to
hire someone to help them figure out how to accomplish the task.

I am beginning to think it is time for me to call LifeLock and check  
out their
identity theft prevention deal.
