I was shadow banned on Facebook. So, I got rid of it. That was very difficult and I miss seeing all my people. They are the good ones. I was never on Twitter or any of that other crap. Not because I didn’t want to, but I forced myself to stay off. Ask my friends, I have only had a so called smart phone for the last 3.5 years. Not because I didn’t want one but because I valued my privacy. I have always been the paranoid one.
Enter Elon Musk. I am never sure what to think of that guy. He is a wild card born in one of my favorite spots on this earth. And now he is Boss in the world that is Twitter. What is going to happen?

I think it will be a bellwether in the fight of Dr. Evil vs. EveryBodyElseInTheWholeWorld. Hmm.

More on my cell phone paranoia and it’s justification later, but let’s just say there is a reason the government is giving out free phones to illegals. If they want me to have it, the less I want it.
