How Many Months Till Training Camp?

Good morning and Happy Friday to all of our awesome readers across the Permian Basin. Without all of you the world would be filled with one less blog and I would be mumbling all these thoughts to myself! So without further ado here are my musings for this Friday.

The NFL draft kicked off with the Houston Texans picking Jadeveon Clowney with the number one pick. Blake Bortles was the first quarterback taken off the board at number three to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags surprised a lot of “experts” by taking Blake so high but I’m rooting for the UCF grad to turn that franchise around. Texas A&M star Johnny Football fell all the way to #22 where the Cleveland Browns picked him up. Not sure if Manziel will find the exciting night life he’s accustomed to in Northeast Ohio, but hopefully he can tone down his wild lifestyle and mature into a successful NFL quarterback. Round two of the draft starts tonight on ESPN at 7pm EST.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is almost here! The NFL returns to television tonight as they broadcast the 2014 draft live fromRefereeFootballHC1301-1 copy New York. The Houston Texans own the number one overall pick and everyone is excited to see exactly who they draft. It might be the monster defensive end Jadeveon Clowney or even quarterback sensation Johnny Manziel. After a disappointing 8-8 season last year the Dallas Cowboys hold the 17th pick in the draft and need a lot of help at safety. Tune in live at 7pm on ESPN to see how all of the action unfolds!

People here in the Permian Basin really love football and I do too! Unfortunately we have to wait all summer before we even see some games being played. I know it’s a bummer because we all hate to wait, but that’s just the way it goes.

What a wild Wednesday I’ve had so far. I feel like I’ve been trying to chase down cattle that I can never reach sometimes. Thankfully the work day is almost over and this is a shortened work week thanks to Easter and Good Friday. Of course Thrifty Nickel offices and employees have the day off Friday to recognize the holiday. So make sure to get all your ads called in Thursday in preparation (432) 580-7777 or (432) 333-4184. Our sales representatives will be standing by and waiting for all your calls!

Thrifty Nickel secure from Heartbleed

Heartbleed is the nickname for an internet security bug that began receiving public attention last week. The details are pretty involved, but in a nutshell there was a potential vulnerability found in OpenSSL encryption, which is currently used by about two-thirds of all sites on the internet.

The bug is serious business. Fortunately, our tech team (left) is serious about security, too. Our systems were patched and upgraded to new certificates before even the giant corporate sites had a chance to react.

We’re also proud to be one of the growing number of secure sites utilizing something known as “perfect forward secrecy” — a way of preventing unforeseen future vulnerabilities from decrypting past transactions. You’ll hear more about it in the future as more and more sites step up to the plate to protect their customers.

Just keeping our little corner of Texas as safe as we can!
