Nice summer mountain weather. Each day dawns cool and bright. It warms up into the eighties, but there is moisture in the monsoonal flow from the south overhead. The humidity in the air gathers into thunderheads in the afternoon providing cloud cover and afternoon rains. The next day dawns cool and bright again. It’s not just our feathered friends that enjoy our bird feeders.

Rufous hummingbirds. We got Rufous hummers. They finally arrived a few days ago. Black chinned, broad tailed, and Rufous. And a pack of pinon jays blowing through the camp. Black capped chickadees and mountain chickadees together. Magpies. Lewis’s woodpeckers. Cedar Waxwings. I finally got another flycatcher besides the western wood pewee. Dusky flycatcher. All the swallows, catbirds, black headed grosbeaks, bullocks orioles, goldfinches, American dipper, western tanager, pine siskin, spotted sandpipers, yellow warblers, plumbeous vireo, warbling vireo, white breasted nuthatch. It’s birdy here. Taylor turned fourteen. She has her own cellphone and an ipod. She has arrived.

Key 123

While Judy was at the bank, the helpful young guy there volunteered information (unsolicited) on how to encrypt email. You type key123 into the subject line and it automatically encrypts your mail so it can’t be stolen. We were skeptical. Questions occurred. Like: If we encrypt the email how does the receiving computer know how to unencrypt it? And if the receiving computer knows how to unencrypt it, what’s to stop a thieving computer from unencrypting it? We wondered why our children and children in law, who are so computer literate, never mentioned this to us, so we mentioned it to them. Judy sent an encrypted email to our son in law Brian. If you start at the bottom of this thread and read up, you might be able to follow the exchange (although some of it is encrypted).
