What I Love About Facebook

In general, the fb feed of people of a certain age, IN a certain age we live in can be dismal. Shootings, Rage, people dying young or old. The hits keep coming. 

But then there's the Hawaiian music feed -- the world renowned slack key guitarist who will take you on a walk in his neighborhood in the early morning while not really saying anything. You can see what it looks like where he lives and hear the chickens waking up. He doesn't really say anything. He also posts videos and a venmo link later in the day when he plays daily concerts in his carport. Then there's the guy who -- how do I even know him? He came to work? He's a well-known ukulele player who we do actually "know" and he posts the best food photos from restaurants in Honolulu that I would never know otherwise. He's the guy who we went to see at the Hibiscus Club, which was one of the coolest times ever.

Anyhoo -- then there's the singer who is arguably best lei maker in the world, (traditional Niihau shell and non-traditional flower lei) who occasionally posts about his kitten he got during the pandemic. Today the lei maker posted that his kitten passed the rubber band he'd eaten the other day. And the world of fans like me heaves a great sigh of relief and has a laugh. That's what the fb is for, People.

You gotta take the happiness where you can find it these days.
