It's A Scam!

This morning my mom got a call from a scammer saying that the government was going to give us $7,000 dollars. My mom believed them at first but, when they started asking her where our nearest Western Union was which I think is another bank. My mom started thinking that it might me a scam so, she asked the person on the phone if it was a scam and they immediately hung up. It was obviously a scam because why did they want to know where our nearest Western Union was and why didn't they ask us to use our bank. It doesn't make anysense. If it was really from the gornment they would've probably sent us a letter or atleast would've known what bank we use. I'm glad that my mom figured out it was a scam. I just wanted warn yall of this scam.

    Thanks for the warning! I know I get a lot of emails that I won this lottery or that lottery, I just need to contact them (and probably give my bank account info, which I wouldn't). I usually delete those without even opening them. Glad your mom was so wise to realize it was a scam!

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea

I've Found More Trails to Explore!

Uh-oh look at my bike, it's caked in mud! This picture was taken yesterday after I had ridden in the ant hills which is a dirt trail. Unfortunately for me it had rained on Wednesday and Thursday so, the trail was all muddy. I had to scrub hard to wash all the dirt off. There still is some dirt on the pedals and tires but, other than that it's pretty clean. I think I should have waited until the dirt dried up.
