Over here in Alberta it's been nothing but sunshine, and piss flows of mass rain thunder showers.
But not really any fires.

Went to Vermont with my family for a vacation this past week, and became kinda obsessed with Maple Drops candy. It's a hard candy made with around 25% maple syrup. Well, we visited Montreal during the trip, and one of the touristy stores I stopped at had Pumpkin Spice Maple candies, and Honey and Lemon maple candies, but I didn't buy any at the time since it was early in the day and figured I could find some in any of the tourist shops arounds.
Nope. None of the other stores had them. I finally found the manufacturer online, Turkey Hill Sugarbush, doesn't ship to Florida.

I go to a (the only) local pain management place here in town. Their main office is in Vegas they have moved all their paperwork/billing/etc to a phone app with our good friend AI. I have an insurance card with a clear co-pay. Out of nowhere this past Thursday I see the app says I owe $225 but not why. When I ask I'm told they cannot see it as it's all done in Vegas so they will have someone call me. Today has been a week since and now the total is $270. If I actually owe it, no problem but I am not in the habit of paying people just 'cuz. Call today, get the AI blues leave a message. Then FF to me getting a call from an 800 number where an obviously Indian man says he's looking for me (by my legal name that I only use for stuff like this) and he's with the Kidney service? I asked him wtf he's talking about , then he mentions they do a lot of billings for different clients and it could be who I use locally (he mentioned it not me).
I asked how do I know this isn't a scam and he said if I gave him my account # he could help. It was obvious he was in a call center and indian so I said I think this is a scam and hung up.
Then my wife comes home said she stopped by the local place and all the accounting people are out so I won't hear from them until next week. How far compromised am I ? I've been part of every data breach since Nikki Haley gave away my tax records when she was the governor of SC in 2013. All my shit is locked down but this is only going to get worse as more and more places fire their local billing and outsource to AI companies where no one knows wtf is going on.
