Facebook is flaming insane lately. Today, after receiving no notices for over a year from the Harrisburg bicycle club (of which I'm not even a member) I receive no less than nine, with photos from an outing which happened last May! A week or so ago I got a message from a man in Australia who had seen me perform in a Hotel in Menorca in the late eighties, when he was 12 years old. He asked what I've been doing and if I remembered being on the beach with his family. He even sent me some old photographs in which I and some other friends were included. He said one of my songs popped into his head the other day. I answered his message and sent him a couple of pictures, and the next day when I looked at my messages and found not a trace of either his or mine! I don't even remember his name so I could look him up, because it was a very pleasing shot of nostalgia. Most days I receive very few notices from regular friends and five or six "junk mail" notices from the local arts council or open mikes happening this weekend, but some days I I get virtually nothing of interest. I used to be snowed with notifications. I think I'm being watched by somebody or something, but why I would be of interest to anybody in Facebook I can't imagine. Has anybody noticed any similar anomalies in their FB feed?
