My dad died the night before Thanksgiving. When I called Social Security on Monday, they had already been notified by the funeral home. SSA confirmed his payments had already been stopped. This all happened over the holiday weekend.

He was just a small town sheriff who wanted to build himself a house…May your memory be a blessing.

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information. This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

"According to one person familiar with the department, Trump-affiliated employees had asked about Treasury’s ability to stop payments. But Lebryk’s pushback was, 'We don’t do that,' the person said." https://cnn.it/40H6jN9

Cannot emphasize how close this is to the heart of Hollywood. Evacuation zone from the 101 west to Laurel Canyon, Mulholland Drive south to Hollywood Blvd. and yet the traffic is at a standstill.

The fires in LA are as bad as they get and they’re spreading fast. If you are anywhere near the area, make sure you are keeping up with the latest news and evacuation orders.

Fire season 2004 was the catalyst for our move back home to KC area. Keeping my LA friends in my prayers. The conditions appear to be the worst kind of perfect storm.

Giving thanks for the fact that my last conversation with my dad was me saying I love you & him telling me he was glad I’m his daughter. We lost him yesterday, will lay him to rest tomorrow.

Wait. What? Kansas should be more like Mississippi? Are you FKM? How about we celebrate our progress and support our schools? Maybe stop misinterpreting the data while we are at it. #ksed

This is Dewey. He too has never worked a day in his life, but wonders “WTF, mom. Why can’t I go on a much-needed vacation?” while I toil away at work.

‘“Don’t worry about what you put on social media,” Meyer said. “Don’t worry about the video you’re shooting. Don’t worry about the blogs you’re writing. Do good journalism, period. Good journalism. That means finding stories that affect people & giving them an opportunity to do something about it.”’

Big day for KC sports! While much attention is focused on #Chiefs match-up w/Buffalo Bills this afternoon, our women’s soccer team KC Current is playing Orlando for a spot in the national championship! (Also, #RCJH last night was 🔥 🏀🏈)

#DogsofBlueSky Sad pup alert. Dewey got scratched today playing with friends at “school.” Thankfully, his eye is unharmed. The vet cleaned it up, applied antibacterial cream. My job (besides resisting the impulse to wipe his face) is to give him lots of ❤️!
