DISASTER STRIKES THE BIG TOP!


The much ballyhooed Buckles Facebook never made it to the first lot.
I struggled with it for a while but due to advanced age, increasing irritability and a highly incompetent staff, I couldn't get it to work.

I fully understand. Two of my three computers do not like Facebook and will not function without locking up. The laptop does just fine. I don't understand it either.

A cobbler should stick to his last.

I must have gotten a hundred invitations to "be my friend" on one or another of these social networks. I just write the senders back and explain that I am too old to do that and thank them for thinking of me.

I knew I could count on you Dave

ALL these "networks" are mining

data about ALL of the members &

ALL of their "friends" that is

then sold to a gazzilion markets

That's how they customize ads to

each group of marks & as we all

have known NO FREE LUNCH TODAY

Yep, Chic. A couple of weeks ago, a digital ad for Feld's Marvel Universe Live in Norfolk popped up on my Buckles Blog banner line. Some sort of local Cox insert, I guess.
As for facebook, was wasting too much time and traded it for the Wall Street Journal online. Time better spent for sure.

Yep indeed Bob I heard a fellow

on a recent flight mention that

he had started a subversive web

site titled "UNBOOKIT"

Just noticed the details in the

photo It sure wasn't a fair fight

between a locomotive & a woodie

Reminds me of a line in a song

from "Man Of La Manca" sung by

Irving Jacobson as "Sancho"

"Whether the stone hits the

pitcher or the pitcher hits the

stone it's gonna be bad for the

pitcher" (still my favorite all

time musical)
