Adams Rubble says c'mon Rubble you can do better at finding a topic
Adams Rubble: I am not working too well today
Riddle Sideways: one of the great things about friendship is the ok-ness to sit on the park bench together and not say anything
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: sometimes one's brain needs a rest from all the stuff going on
Riddle Sideways: now wondering if "Topic" is from the roots "To Pick"

Riddle Sideways: pick a part
Riddle Sideways: pick a peck
Riddle Sideways: dream journal today has the entry "Yes, had a very happy, smily, warm dream, can't recall any details"

Adams Rubble: the Russians have primed the social media well
Adams Rubble: we don;t need them anymore to get us at each others' necks
Riddle Sideways: right
Riddle Sideways: the immediate actions of retweet, repost, forward, pass on for 'friends' to read the same 'whatvever'. is the same the social media spam mailer bot farms do
Riddle Sideways: the new autodialers that call to tell lies
Adams Rubble: nice tie in :)
Riddle Sideways: one person has 1,000 accounts to rebroadcast whatever
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Riddle Sideways: then in local news, well in local paper (still get one for 'local' coverage) a story that got lost in national. Butterflies
Riddle Sideways: IKR, who cares about butterflies
Riddle Sideways: local city Pacific Grove is a stopping place for Monarch butterflies
Riddle Sideways: a small grove of their favorite trees
Riddle Sideways: was over development vs butterflies in those blocsk
Riddle Sideways: for years
Riddle Sideways: and a troup of people that count the butterflies each year
Riddle Sideways: this year, the count is down
Riddle Sideways: 86%
Riddle Sideways: there are 86% less Monarch butterflies this year
Adams Rubble: :(
Riddle Sideways: to put that in perspective
Riddle Sideways: reducing the population of LA to the population of Monterey
Riddle Sideways: to tie back. many were about to stand up and state something, then looked at their name tags
Adams Rubble: do they have an explanation?
Riddle Sideways: oh! we are that party
Riddle Sideways: 1 idea was the trees that are shelter and food went away
Riddle Sideways: 2. might be climate
