After registering at the doctor`s office last week, the receptionist asked me to take a number from a basket, which she then wrote on my file. When I asked if this meant I had to wait in line until my number was called, she stated, `No. We are no longer allowed to call out your name. We can only call your number.`
Lately the local United Church ceased publishing the names of sick and shut ins, in the church bulletin.
Apparently both of the above changes are as a result of the Privacy Act.
So I was very surprised when I came across this site. Type in your address at the site and enjoy a virtual tour of the street where you live.
Talk about privacy?
Or google maps even.
Ummmm, when I type in my current address, you need to do a 180 to actually see my house in little Mexico. Try 220 Columbia St, Tucson, Az. My house for sale at 10116 Corte Madera Fina shows a big moving van. If you circle around, finally you see my other abode. Interesting!
