Sometimes when I sign up for a new login/password on a website there are security questions. I remember back many years ago when 'what is your mother's maiden name' was considered a good security question. I don't like using that one because it's not that hard for a determined identity thief to figure out the answer.

Lately, the sites have been providing a list of security questions to choose from: where I went to high school, what was my high school mascot, in what city did I meet Mr. Troutbend, what city did we get married in, name of my kindergarten teacher, first pet, first street I lived on: Pick one. These questions are okay by me because the answers are fairly cut and dried.

I remember one site where the questions were along the lines of: what is your favorite band, what is your favorite beverage, what is your favorite color. And my answer is: I don't know.

I like several kinds of music, so could not choose between them, much less a favorite band, and both tea and coffee have a place in my life.

Some people are very positive about liking blue or yellow or purple the best, but for me any color and hue has its place.

If I'm forced to choose one of these questions, I have to write down the answer because I will forget what I said if I ever need it.

It's not that I'm indecisive. I know when blue is the color I want, and when yellow would be right. And there are some things I know I dislike and have no problem picking against, like that fake-tasting raspberry tea, and rap music.

This is an art print by Sueellen Ross. I paid $30 for it at the antique mall. I like it because we have two or three mallards like this on our river here.



Just posting it here to show to Jeri.
