Social media. Back when I started doing this…you know I’d come home from patrol & Dino the Dino would rush the door & tackle me, I got curious after a few years if there were other guys who were doing the RLSH thing. I looked online & found about 8 guys who were. Neat.
\nThen Myspace came along & we could all communicate with each other which was even better and over time the 8 became 17 then 22 & so on.
\nThen forums came along, then Facebook. Yesterday we had my mom over for early Mothers day, then went to lady-heroes Nephews house to watch them while her sister had a night out & periodically thru out the night I’m trying to check Facebook because my phone is going “Ding” telling me people are posting about it instead of enjoying my family time because of some squabble with some idiot who literally lives on the other side of the continent from me who I’m never gonna meet, and who wouldn’t run his mouth at all if he was face to face with me anyway. This nonsense never cut into my patrol\/event\/charity time…but it does make me wonder how many peoples time it does cut into.
\nI deleted the damn thing. In the grand scheme of things…do you really care if I’m having Tostadas for lunch? I don’t care if you are. If you are a active RLSH…be active.
\nBe aware that you can get sucked up in those things & that takes you out of the actual game.\u00a0 I was fine before they existed…I’ll be fine now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
