Fake social media reports

During the NBA season, I have often wanted to learn how to tweet.  Blog reader Leilani even went to the trouble of writing out a long list of instructions on how to go about doing that but as you know I am computer challenged.

Then there are times like today that I am glad I am not on social media.  Per San Antonio news stations learned that some idiots had the Eagle Pass area in a total panic today.  A woman went online to say that a friend of the El Paso mass murderer had posted on social media that he was headed to Eagle Pass to shoot up the town.  She told everyone not to go to Walmart or HEB and that the police were already in the stores to prevent the soon to be mass shooting.

Everyone around here is already stressed out enough for some stupid idiot to be pulling these kinds of pranks on the population.  Not to be left behind someone posted that there was a man with a gun at Del Rio High School.  What are these people thinking?

Did anyone see the panic caused at Times Square?  It appears a motorcycle or a car backfired and people thought it was gunshots and took off running for their lives.  Yes, there are a lot of us whose nerves are on edge and apparently not just in Texas and Ohio.

On another note, I was a little down three weeks ago because several people I knew passed away.  It seems to come in spurts and once again it has happened.  The truly sad part is that two of the deceased are young people and sons of former classmates.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
