Thanks for the tip to circumvent Facebook... Works!! I have a whole new profile. I see posts from people I didn't see anymore. Facebook's new algorithm picks the same people - around 25-who will see your posts. Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click " copy ". Go to your page where it says " what's on your mind". Tap your finger anywhere in the empty field. Click paste. This is going to circumvent the system.
Hello new and old friends!
Drop a single hello, thanks!

John's other titles on our shelves include What's Shakin' in the Attic?, The Motor Works, Prairieville to Waukesha and Wisconsin Centrifugal.
Stroll through downtown Waukesha, Wisconsin and find out more about your community, thanks to John's literary efforts!
