.... aka , did you know

Four things to know about the change in credit cards starting Thursday

By Justine Griffin, Times Staff Writer
The new antifraud technology takes effect today for some — but not all — credit card holders
This article was from the TBT DayStarter
The news cycle  , last night , had a segment on the topic.
In Canada , we've had the CHIP embedded cards for years , now.
but we've seldom seen machines in the States and our American credit card isn't CHIP embedded.
T0 - day is the day the U.S. switches over. Most Americans and most retailers haven't switched yet.

what does this mean - well, the new cards are more secure
The major credit card entities are changing right about now.
Consumers can take some time getting new cards
but retailers who don't have chip reader machines are now liable for fraud and not  the credit card company itself
Whew , didn't see that one coming !

Doing my usual , YouTube surfing , I found ' Jimmy Webb and Linda Ronstadt ' , live. They do a medley of JW songs
Wichita Lineman , Only One Life and the Moon Is a Harsh Mistress ' , he sings the first 2 , LR does the latter. 
The comments rated this vid , the best or top 3 on YouTube.
hyperbole ??? maybe..... it is excellent
Jimmy Webb , song writer , lyricist and orchestrator , in fact of his 11 Grammys ( as at 2010 ) JW is the only person to       receive Grammys for all 3.
JW is not a great singer but , Whoa !   these are his songs and he has style ,  real style.
BTW - I've read the Sci fi novel , the ' Moon Is a Harsh Mistress ' and I 've discovered that author Robert A Heinlein coined the name for the novel.
Recommend : look this vid up

Weather Report : sunny but cool , we'll take it
