Starting Nov. 1, 2021, customers will need to update their Zoom client to ensure their software is no more than nine months behind the current version before using the Zoom platform. Check before your important program or meeting!
Facebook security: Remember to check all settings and lock down their friends lists so that hackers don't "clone" your account and send fake friend requests from "you" to others! Some Warner FB group members have had issues recently, and have been made private to help control this. www.makeuseof.com/what-is-facebook-cloning-scam/

The Devouring Series
“When dark creeps in and eats the light,
Bury your fears on Sorry Night.
For in the winter's blackest hours,
Comes the feasting of the Vours,
No one can see it, the life they stole,
Your body's here but not your soul...”
