during the election i got tired of all the stuff that was
appearing on facebook
from both sides
so
i found an app and put it on my facebook page
it filters out political stuff
especially any mention of trump or clinton
then
if folks got too aggressive on their political postings
i used my darwinian clicker and blocked them
i must admit i blocked more folks who believe
like i did then those who have opposing views from mine
then
if racists or bigoted or homophobic stuff got posted
i blocked that person also
so
what was left was a much more pleasant read each day
when i go on facebook i want to know
how folks are doing
how their family is doing
not that other stuff
then
i started hearing about the true fake news stuff
not trumps fake news he rants about
the real fake news that was mainly put out by
the russian hackers it seems against the clinton
run for president
it seems from court and legal documents that the russians
wanted trump to win
the russians as most agree hate and loathe clinton
so
they did these fake news stories and posted it
mainly on facebook
mainly to folks in areas that determined the election
like
michigan and wisconsin and pennsylvania and a few
other states
after i heard about all this
i no longer click on any news related stories on facebook
ever
i consider anything that gets posted there as
possibly fake news
i get all my news online from 3 different news feeds
that gives me a variety of news sources from
across the news spectrum
then
i decide for myself what to believe
not just what some reporter wrote
so i wondered
did i read fake news on facebook during the election
that may have affected my thinking
so kim komando the computer guru
posted this link that you can click on to see if you
got faked news
here is her article click here
here is the facebook link to see if you got faked
this should disturb you that this has happened to us
no i didnt click on any fake news sites on facebook
according to this link
mudslide update
the hwy 101 is still closed between santa barbara and los angeles
since i have to have an mri at ucla to get my next infusion
i cant get it anywhere else since this is all part of the study
we had to make it down to los angeles yesterday to be here
for our mid morning mri scan today
so off we went north for about an hour up the 101
then up and over the mountains
a slow trip that was quite curvy
but i must add quite beautiful
the line of cars and trucks seemed to extend behind
us for a couple of miles
all moving slow
lucky for us we seemed to be number 3 in line
then after 3 hours of driving we made it to the
interstate 5 south of bakersfield
then
lucky for us
we drove during the right time of day for the la traffic
missing all the backups on the notorious 405
we made the trip in a little over 5 hours
it could have easily take 7 hours
but it didnt
if we are lucky in 1 week the 101 will be opened some
so we will not have to go back the way we came
the mudslides were the result of a perfect storm
it turned out to be a 1 in 2000 year event
in all my reading on this this morning
there was a flood several years ago
down the creek that is a block away from our condo
it was a 15 foot of mud rocks debri that caused flooding
in the part of santa barbara we live in
yes it closed the 101 then
so in the south
you have tornadoes and floods
we here it seems
have mudslides and fires and i must add earthquakes
although the south is getting a lot of earthquakes now
from all the fracking thats done
there has been no change in the death toll
someone who was displaced in the mudslides
will be staying at our condo while we are gone
our contribution to the cause
