Ingenious as a potential means of communication

though the groups using such means is very worrisome.

Maybe it was hacked for a minute or two.
Similar to road signs being hacked to advise drivers on who not to vote for. I can’t explain it. Ask someone tech savvy and/or under the age of 30. They might know how to do it.

I would think a hack would interrupt the background signal of the program. This just overlaid the program which continued without interruption.

Does this have anything to do with the natural gas leak you had? Tested for O2 lately? Could be series.

Another one just popped up. . . this time it said:

Family Readiness:
Group Iraq:
Please Call: ### ### ####

I looked up Family Readiness and it's something to do with a US Army program!

Maybe you’re being selected to go fight in Iraq - just dial the number and they’ll come pick you up

LOL! That was at one of my rental houses. . . and the city finally signed off on the replacement gas line permit this morning and the gas is finally going to be turned back on in the morning. TWO WEEKS of delays and obfuscations from the city all designed to punish do-it-yourselfers for not hiring expensive plumbing contractors! Contractorss can get an inspection appointment for a 45 minute window later this morning. We get a window of 7:45 Am to 4:00 PM. . . on Tuesday, when you call for an appointment on Friday, then they find some picky thing to require a re-inspection on, in four days or more, even though the fix for the picky thing could be done in a half-hour.

We have Comcast I think and our land line is tied in. When the phone rings it comes up with a text on the screen saying the number and the name of the caller.

I wonder if the military uses similar to get the message out, and you are a wrong number? It could be something as plain as calls from charity groups calling for support of Iraqi vets. “Please support the Family Readiness program that helps families of Iraqi war vets ....”

Although obviously something isn’t right if it flashes by so quickly that you can’t get the number.

With the way Obambi cost the Military, I am not sure there are any Army bases left on the West Coast, much less any in California.
