Since I'm Now Banned On Facebook...

...for the next 30 days, I'll post here a bit to keep in touch with those of my online acquaintances who aren't on Twitter or MeWe.

I actually had just finished a five-day ban on Facebook for typing the words "tranny" (not a reference to automobile transmissions) and "muzzy" (slang for Muslim). Don't know if I was ratted out by other people on Facebook or whether Facebook has an algorithm that looks for such words. Anyway, today was my first and last day of freedom on Facebook for the next thirty days, as I typed the words "white trash peckerwoods" in a comment about the movie Deliverance only a few minutes after being able to post again. Within a half hour I was again in Facebook Jail, this time for a 30-day stretch. Still don't know whether it was a rat or an algorithm that got me.

So, thirty days from now when Facebook allows me to do things on my profile beside read it, I'll update my profile photo:

Couple of Random Thoughts

Started watching the Firefly series that all the cool bloggers have been raving about for the last few years. I recently signed up for Amazon Prime, and with that program comes opportunity to stream videos free, and Firefly is one of those. Recently watched Captain America: The First Avenger free, also. Amazon Prime is a good program if you shop at Amazon often, as I do.

Something else I've noticed is that much of the reason that blogging isn't as popular as 5 years ago is that people seem to have migrated to Facebook, and in effect all share the same blog there. It's easier to pop interesting news stories onto Facebook than it is to spend all that time coding it into a blog entry. Readers might consider giving it a try.
