Twitter refugee (flyaway47); new here, still figuring out how things work.

I'd heard about this scam before, but today it was my turn. If you get a text about a delivery from the US Postal Service, DO NOT reply, click, or engage in any way.

You can sign up for texts if you're tracking a specific package, but they don't use texting to communicate; just one-way updates. Also check any URL you see—the last part should be ".gov". Anything else is fake.

I'm concerned because I *am* currently tracking a very important package, so I'm wondering—coincidence or spying?

Had a great experience today! A half-grown fawn was racing around & around at top speed just for fun, while Mama watched. Then Junior disappeared into the bushes, while Mom waited patiently.

I wasn't able to get a video of Jr so I started gradually edging toward Mama to get a good photo; she not only wasn't alarmed, but met and held my eyes!

Then, to my shock, *she* started slowly approaching *me*! I pretended I had food, and she got quite close before breaking away. I guess she's been fed…??
