I just got home from trivia, and saw a woman crawling into the alley between my house and the one next door. I tried to ask her if she needed help, but she was really disoriented and didn't really answer me, but she said, "I'm cold." I called the police, and they found her still in the alley, passed out, and are taking her to the hospital. It's 6 degrees out there.

Hil, you probably saved her life.

If I'd come home just a minute or two later, I probably wouldn't have seen her. She was visible from the sidewalk when I got home, but by the time the police got there, she was in the alley and I had to show them where she was.

Yipes Hil, I'm so glad you saw her and called someone to help her.

Yeah, you know what distinction would be technically possible that would be really helpful, would be to be able to block photos that someone is just forwarding from somewhere else, and not ones they'd uploaded themselves. So I'd get a few where I have whackaloons who are creating the contentious content, but mostly I'd then just get cute baby and pet pictures and could ignore all the offensive or inane ones. With my students, there are a lot of inane ones.

I'm going to have to go to bed just to stop myself from eating everything in the kitchen.

Of course, right when I say that, I get a huge amount of important business done via facebook. Whatever, facebook!

Don't eat everything in the kitchen, Zen! Maybe make some herbal tea or something?

It is so good that you saw that woman, Hil.

I know that one, Zen! Tea has been my late night thing lately. It does help.

Damn it. After calling the police last night, I must have put my phone down somewhere different than usual, and now I can't find it.

edit: found it. It was in the pocket of my jacket.

hey! it's National Pie Day!
