Re-posting Facebook leaves from the book.

My Facebook page gave me notice that they were doing away with an app  to "encourage conversation".
They list another app than I am aware of, but the app "Forum" has all my posts so far so I will be moving them all over here (and the others so far unposted) so I won't lose them.
Most of this is from the original posts from the road.
I will not be editing these at this moment (thought I am aware of many errors in need of correction) as I only have till the end of the month to save them all.
the titles will have the dates they represent.
Thanks.
