Phone Scam Truth in Advertising

Phone scammers are getting very creative. 

This just came in on my home phone. 

I didn't answer but tried calling back from a blocked number. 

No ringing sound either time I called. 1st time got message, "All circuits" are busy. 2nd time, got the disconnected phone beep after about 30 seconds.

Solar Eclipse!

Partial Solar Eclipse coming this Monday!

The last major partial solar eclipse in NJ was on May 10, 1994*. About 84% of the sun was eclipsed.  

I took the boys out of school and we went to the American Museum of Natural History / Hayden Planetarium in Manhattan.

We were interviewed by Fox national news. (Busted!)
