My eyes are blurry from scrolling though Twitter on my phone. Forgetting my reading glasses.

My squint game is so good that I don’t notice my lack of youthful closeup vision.

Until I look away and everything is blurry for a while.

If I blink my eyes really fast, it speeds up recovery, but I AM getting better at wearing glasses when I use my phone for an extended period of time.

Coming up on 15K twitter followers in a few days, prolly. Still peanuts, but it seems like a lot; it’s just not.

I know this ex Harvard guy who follows everyone back, so even though he has a lot to say, he resides in the Follow for Follow/No Talent Bum, space. He has almost 250K followers and managed to follow back most of them. Though he’s fallen behind of late because of illness and other commitments.

Happy Monday, GN -- good morning, Dv8. Having 15K followers, does that some pressure on you to create content regularly?

not so much.

I used to play a cell phone game when I felt Idle. Now twitter is my cell phone game, I guess. About the same amount of effort. I mostly post and/or create memes and send them out tagging lots of Big and smaller accounts in the F 4 F space. That always leads to more followers.

It’s kind of like playing a game. Sometimes I make a regular post, but usually I tag some other accounts; you can get more views that way, which translates into more followers.

Then when (and if) you really need a lot of people to see something, whatever it might be, you’ll be able to get it in front of a lot of eyes.

I’m not sure what I’ll use it for, but, it’s “just in case” I guess.

Happy Monday, Gerbil Nation!
Good evening, dv8 (and Harper!), and Sven!

We arrived in Charleston, after only a few delays. Picking up my rental car took way too long and I was given the choice of a Dodge Ram pickup or a Chrysler mini-van. So much for the intermediate car I reserved. Oh, it also has a big dent in the passenger side door. The rental agent said the car had been inspected and had no damage -- please sign here. What about that big dent? What big dent? That one, right there! Oh! I’ll add that to the inspection sheet.
