Toyota Financial recently began sending a code to my phone before it would allow me to look at my account. I had the same question, since there was nothing on the site of use to anyone else.

But then, we recently sold our house and the closing was scheduled for Monday, but delayed until Tuesday. Wednesday I got a final bill from the gas company, and today I confirmed that the buyer had transferred all the other utilities... without a word to me, no email, no text, nada. Now this didn't expose any info -- they didn't tell either of us the name of the other, and I can't see his info -- but if I had a vendetta against my neighbor, I could cause a lot of trouble for him by shutting off his power and gas the day after he left on vacation.

Why did I have to show an ID for my colonoscopy?
Is someone going to impersonate me and take my spot?
And would they have also done the prep?

I thought it was so you can be sure that it's a legitimate medical procedure and not a pseudo-alien abduction. An alien wouldn't bother with checking ID before inserting the probe.

Not sure that would work. The new owner had to create new accounts, make any necessary deposits, and set up billing in order to switch the utilities to their name. I would think that the utility companies would not just shut off utilities with just a call without setting up the new customer. But if you wanted to start paying for your neighbors utilities, this might work.

Maybe. The "shelter" isn't much of a shelter. Gaps in the roof, no pipe or opening for a fire. If the temp was 31 F and I had cold weather gear, then maybe. But if the temp was -40F or -40C then you'd probably freeze to death.

-40 °F or -40 °C! What's the difference?

Ha ha. Of course there is none. I've experienced -40 F/C back in Mn. while snowmobiling. We wore cold weather equipment and have zero exposed skin. It was still very cold.

This would be funny, if it wasn't also tragic:
-----------------------------------------------
S, Mo. -- A rural north-central Missouri woman has died after being attacked by a cow.

KTVO-TV reports that 76-year-old Jane Heisey died about 8 a.m. Thursday on a farm near the Sullivan County town of Harris. Heisey and her husband, Glenn, were in a lot near their house trying to put an ear tag on a newborn calf. The mother cow knocked Heisey to the ground and stepped on her head. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Harris is about 120 miles northeast of Kansas City, Missouri.

Growing up in Minneapolis, and being a newspaper delivery boy, I remember that there would almost always be one or two days when them would reach -30 °F. I don't recall -40 in the Cities, but I'm sure up in the northern part of the State it would be about 10 degrees colder.

About 15 years ago I was visiting my Mom in Alexandria the first week of February, and I wanted to get some dawn photos at the cemetery where my Dad was buried. The crack of dawn was the only time when the lighting was right the photo I wanted to get. It was about -25 when I took the picture. To operate the camera I needed to take my gloves off, and it would take me about two minutes to retrieve the camera from inside my coat (where it was being kept warm), get the scene composed, take three shots, stick the camera back inside my coat, and get my gloves. In those two minutes my hands were stinging. Then I would quickly get back to the car, parked about 100 feet away, and by then my cheeks were stinging as well.

It would depend on the definition of 'technology'. If you had some time to tighten the boards and some chinking to fill the gaps, a stove and some chimney pipe, and enough time to split the logs that are scattered around for firewood, it could be a pretty cozy little cabin. My ancestors who settled the Yellowstone area wouldn't have had it any better and they had women and children.
