Today on Dayton.com under the photo galleries heading they had this ridiculous link. PHOTOS: Notable Deaths 2018. It sounds so funny to me and I'm not sure why. I clicked on the link and looked at most of the photos before they stopped loading on my computer. I don't really know who most of them are and the few I do I can't say I really miss them. It isn't to be rude its just that they are exactly the opposite of notable. At least to me.

In other news my twitter followers are dropping like flies. I had 82 and am now down to 76. Most of them are either not real people, organizations that are active once per year or friends that created accounts and never log in. It still hurts though. I thought I would be good at twitter but it's so hard. All I do is retweet so it's my own fault. The other day I posted one word. Bicycle. Who the hell would follow for that any way?

I had another encounter at the gym this morning. One of the older white haired guys that all look the same was talking across the floor mat area to his buddy, thats what he kept calling him, buddy, about a sports team draft selection. I politely asked if I could use the space between them. It's a small area and there is really no place else to go. The talker said "No. Not here buddy. This space is reserved" and laughed while I lay my mat down in the space. It was so obvious he was joking that when he later sought me out and apologized for his humor I wasn't sure how to respond. If I joked back would he take me seriously? I said "no worries, buddy" like ten times. Each time I got a little louder.  I hope he was listening and considers me his buddy now. The gym can get so lonely with all the staring and no follow through.
