| | The sun was just about to come up this morning. I ran to the Floodway entrance and saw the Ashcroft family was about to leave the Floodway on the south side of Adobe. Br. Ashcroft is hard to miss, even when it's kinda dark. My legs were feeling sore from Saturday, so I didn't push it at all. I made it to Brown without seeing anyone else. When I turned south down the RWCD road, I saw a beautiful sunrise and stopped to take a picture. Then I started to see more people. I saw the two guys that were running together last week. Now they were walking together again. I saw some runners and dog walkers. My underwear was pretty tight and felt like it was going to chafe my undercarriage. They were so tight that I couldn't grab them and pull them away. I finally had to reach inside and pull them down. This happened about three times. The last time I just pulled them down to the midway of my rump and left them there. I hope no one saw.
So, here's another story. I'm friends with Sasha, the blog founder, on Facebook. (In real life, too, as he's stayed over at my house a number of times for the Phoenix Half Marathon.) He made a post about Russian propaganda on Facebook. As we all know, Sasha is Russian. The point he was making was that a certain newsworthy thing lately did not seem like Russian dissemination. I commented the following, "Those crazy Russians!" Now clearly that's a joke. But guess what happened. I was censored for it. I violated the "hate speech" rules. I contested it, and lost. But yeah, contested it? I didn't even get to plead my case. All I could do is say that I believe I was not violating their rules. So I guess you're not allowed to make jokes of any kind that involve race. And that makes for a pitiful society. When we can't laugh at others while laughing at ourselves, that's not a world I want to live in. So maybe I'll stick to the blog instead and ditch Facebook. Unless of course it was Sasha that reported me. But I'm guessing it was an algorithm.
