I guess it had to take the racing of my heart for me to wake up to the fact that I am aging fast 😊.(https://joan-myviews.blogspot.com/2026/01/reflections-on-biology.html?m=1)
One thing that comes with aging in this country, is the huge target on your back from scammers.
That's why I appreciated and attended the session hosted by the Broward Sheriff's Department in cooperation with the City today, to help keep us up to date with the constantly evolving world of scamming.
Apparently grandparents fraud is the fastest growing type of scamming these days in Tamarac and it's made so much easier now that it is so ably assisted by AI!
I was really surprised though that the turnout of seniors was so sparse despite it being promoted for weeks at the Senior Center.

There was also input from the Traffic Department and the Fire Rescue.
The traffic department not only reminded us how to remain safe on the roads but highlighted the hot spots in the city.
Interestingly, the number 1 hotspot in our city is the intersection right beside my condo, at Commercial and University!
Fire Rescue made me realize the many ancillary services they provide. (Our taxes pay for it so there is no extra charge when we use them.)
An important handout they gave us was a "file of life" magnet which they suggested we keep on our refrigerator with up to date information, so if they have to come and rescue us when no one else is around, they can get life-saving information quickly.
A great idea.
Mine is already on my fridge .
No harm is accepting that we are getting there and need to take steps to make the process less treacherous!
