The times they are a changin'

                            -------------
The BABE is looking around at the Cooler Buddy Blog.


BABE
This is quite a blog you got here,
man. Completely unspoiled.


FRANK
What's your drink, BABE?


BABE
White Russian, thanks. How's the
boozing business, Frank?


FRANK
I wouldn't know, BABE. I deal in
Cycling, exercise, advocacy, and--


BABE
Which one was the last Pi Ride?


FRANK
Regrettably, it's true, standards
have fallen in our bicycling events.
It's this bar I have, BABE. Now that I have
another job, I can’t afford the time to invest
in BABE meetings, phone calls, email
distribution lists and in-depth blog postings
to get people interested in our rides.

FRANK
People forget that the computer is the
biggest communication device--


BABE
For you, maybe.


He hands him the drink.


FRANK
Of course, you do get the good with
the bad. The new technology permits
us to do exciting things with
member communications with postings and text
messages. Wave of the future, BABE. 100%
electronic.


BABE
Uh-huh. Well, I still communicate
manually.


FRANK
Of course you do. I can see you're
anxious for me to get to the point.
Well BABE, here it is. When’s the next ride?


BABE
I thought you might know, man.


FRANK
Me? How would I know? The only
reason I ever know any of the rides is
because either I schedule them, or someone
calls me on the phone. But now, with
Facebook, anyone can schedule a ride and
everyone who’s in the Facebook Group will know
about it.






Okay, you get the idea… so go out and join Facebook, if you haven’t already, and start posting your rides and communicating with all. I hope it’ll help get everyone talking again, and keep so much being channeled through me, who simply doesn’t have the time he used to.






Ride on,
Frank
