Travel Blog

I used to like going on Facebook, where I'd learn about people's successes - Facebook is no place for failure - and find links to interesting articles I would not have learned about otherwise.

Now on Facebook I find lots of lists (mostly bogus) and videos that, I am told, will unfold in ways I won't believe or change the way I think about something. I ignore all of them, not because I'm resistant to change but because I'm resistant to hype. The social media site that was supposed to be all about connection has become all about promotion. Which I suppose is the American way.
