I made my own Green Flash

I app most of my Instagram photos, as I did this one. I was having “zoom” (actually facetime) coffee with MMCB. BOTH MMCBs. It’s the first time all three of us have been together in about six weeks. Busy summer.

It had started out not exactly chilly but a little hazy and I was wearing my polar fleece JACKET instead of my vest to “take the edge off” as the GG would say. And then the haze cleared and the sun blasted down and WOW! I wondered if I could take a photo and not lose my chat session. It turned out YES I could although MMCB lost my picture temporarily. That was okay. As managers at work always say at our daily stand-up meetings, I don’t want anybody looking at me this morning. But I allow MMCB to see me as I am.

My “show-and-tell” for the morning was my latest facebook debacle. You do not want to know and all I will say is “a priest, an outlaw, and a baggy old kayak woman walk into a bar” and also “I could not make this up if I tried”. It had nothing to do with Bad Boyfriend. BBF still shows up as “people you may know” and I have figured out that he is in fact Bad Boyfriend and not BBF’s son. I have not sent or received a friend request and do not intend to send one although I might accept one if I ever get one. But I probably won’t.

I do occasionally interact with an “old flame” on facebook. Our brief relationship was never intended to continue for various (good) reasons. He married a lovely woman and I married, uh, MAGA😵‍💫🤣🤣🤣 Don’t worry, my MAGA guy has a lot of good qualities (he can fix terlets and just about anything else) and in those days who the heck could’ve predicted MAGA and the grip it would have over otherwise intelligent people (and a whole lot of incredibly dumb ones). Anyway, the old flame and I are wonderful platonic friends nowadays. We don’t connect all that often but I suspect he was entertained by my debacle yesterday and we had some good back and forth fun via comments on OTHER stuff I had posted (benign moomincabin pics). He – wisely – didn’t join the debacle.

When I took this pic this morning, I inexplicably chose an Instagram filter that gave it a greenish tint. Somehow it seemed like a good idea at the time? Now I’m looking at it like, um, what was I thinking?

    I would never have imagined the norms and safeguards that have been breached along with the fear that our Constitution and courts won’t hold up. I don’t get in many facebook debacles because I’m Margaret Lite over there. 🙂
