Facebook Activation

So I’m back onto Facebook after a little over a 6-week deactivation.  I thought it would last longer—three months, six, a year, forever—but then the fires broke out in Los Angeles and we had these “wind events” here in Ojai and, well... Facebook is truly the best information resource out there for this.  
 
Like, the Ojai Community pages and the fire pages and the communications from our town government and our Police Department and our Fire Department and each other…. If I want to know something, it’s here.  And if it’s not and I post a question, it’s answered. In a nano second.
 
So I signed back in. For the two days we had no electricity last week and while we moved our very small generator from place to place around our home.  The kitchen to make coffee and to cool down our fridge to the bedroom to plug in our internet to Garth’s office for a meeting and back again to our fridge.
 
When it ran out of juice we went to our daughter’s house to recharge (not all of Ojai was electrically down) and then back again to do it all again.  Till the lights went back on, on Thursday late morning.
 
And then I deactivated again.
 
Until another wind event and what did I need to know that I might not get anywhere else and back on it again I went.
 
I changed my background pic. To my dancing fifth position feet for a week until this writing right now. 
 
As now I’m on it. And in it. But just a bit. I hope.
 
Right now I sign in, I hope, once a day. To see if there is something I need to know about the fires and the wind and our safety in this Valley.  I sign back in, my thinking is, just until this fire season is over (is California fire season ever over anymore?).
 
And I don’t scroll. 
 
And I’ve gotta tell you, this is really hard. I want to go hunting. I am an investigator with my legal mind and busy thoughts and wondering. And this place, it makes me want to spend time here. As the creators of this intended. To waste time here.
 
So far I don’t. Waste time. I sign in to see if there is something I need to know for our safety in this Valley and then I sign back out again.
 
Except once. Once I signed in and looked around a bit.  Once. Well Twice.  Twice.
 
So far.
