As most of the world knows, I am having a baby. Well, okay, specifically I am the Daddy part of having this baby, Nikki is the person actually having the baby. Just so everyone knows some details, the baby is due the first week or so of October. Nikki lives just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee. And yeah, there are a LOT of things to figure out between now and then. As if all that was not enough to give a person enough to be concerned with and have a lot on the mind, add the following almost unbelievable situation on top of things.
I do my local banking with a credit union named Kentucky Telco. Strangely enough they were started as a credit union that catered to telecommunications workers. I have been using them since shortly after having moved back to Kentucky, what seven years ago now. I love the actual branch in Harrodsburg, where I have done most of my banking. That is not the case at the Lexington branch though.
Readers, today we were suppose to be braced for implosion of the internet as we knew it. The conficker virus was supposed to go active and take out so much of the infrastructure of the network that computer communication would become all but impossible.
