    It would appear that someone complained about arrows stuck to the

    An old entry in Facebook says that the arrows were on signs because it
    was raining and the arrows wouldn't stick to wet pavement.

    I couldn't find the new entry that "notifications" said was there, and
    all but three of the old entries are gone.

    The more I see of Facebook, the more I wish that my nieces and nephews
    hadn't forgotten how to use e-mail. At one time, they used bouncing
    robins to co-ordinated every get-together; now they can't grasp that
    social e-mail doesn't follow the same rules as business e-mail.

    The first thing I learned in typing class in the forties was that
    there are different formats for different kinds of letters, and nobody
    had the slightest difficulty with the concept. Now everything is one
    size fits nobody.
