Got censored for the first time today by Facebook. Got into an argument unwisely with a truly obnoxious hacker on my professional FB account. Among the rude memes he posted on my account was a photo of an overweight person’s posterior. In anger, I said something like, “You are an ass; we can at least agree on that” and questioned his psychological well-being. My policy now is not to engage with people of ill will at all. I think women know this intuitively from having unwanted affection from men.
The economy is reopening. The local beach that serves many people from the inland has taken down its beach-closed red flags and re-opened its parking lot a few days ago, and some lunch places now let customers eat indoors. My store clerk buddy says the loss of guacamole at restaurants during the virus was “a first-world problem.”
Walked on the beach. An attractive woman was having her photos taken by a man. When they were out of earshot, I commented to my walking companion, “I think he was just her photographer, not her boyfriend,” and got the reply, “you never know.” Indeed, I never know.
