You can uncross your fingers now, because all those things you were hoping would fall into place have fallen exactly where you wanted them to fall.

Are people finally getting sick of Facebook?
Facebook was the phenomenon that dragged our social lives into the computer age. It was the idea that would eventually conquer the planet, destined to manage the connections between you and almost everyone you know.
But it appears that the world's most popular social network is beginning to lose millions of the friends that it had once gained so rapidly.
Figures released yesterday suggest that an exodus from Facebook may have begun in the United States, Britain and Canada, countries where the seven-year-old site was first taken up.
The suggestion is that long-time users are starting to suffer from "Facebook fatigue", having grown tired after years of using the site. The research indicates that, although Facebook continues to move towards 700 million users worldwide, the rate of growth has slowed for the second month in a row.
And just as people are tiring of Facebook. More employers encouraging Facebook at work

Fire Sets Record
It's official: Wildfire Is Now the Largest in Arizona’s History.
The massive Wallow Fire that is raging through eastern Arizona and neighboring New Mexico has burned so much additional acreage that it has become the largest fire in Arizona’s history, officials said Tuesday.
The fire had burned more than 469,000 acres as of Tuesday morning, surpassing the 468,000 acres destroyed in the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski Fire, which affected an area not far away in Arizona’s White Mountains.
The big difference between the two megafires, though, has been the damage. The Wallow Fire has been far less destructive than its predecessor, destroying only 31 homes compared with 465 lost a decade ago.

Today's horoscope says:Could circumstances beyond your control be turning you into a more jaded person?
Today, before you lose sight of the world's wonders, unearth some of your old idealistic tendencies.
They aren't gone -- they're still deep down inside of you.
They've been sleeping, just waiting for a time when they'll be necessary and relevant in your life again.
Let yourself be impressed by the magic that surrounds you every day.
Smile at a stranger who smiles at you.

What is it about Tuesdays in June?
For the second week in a row Life has thrown a monkey wrench into the works here at the offices of Carolina Naturally (and Wednesday doesn't look good either - making its second week in a row appearance).
This time around we decided to just post a few posts in lieu of an hiatus for two days again so soon after last week's 'Lost Weekend' so to speak.
Oh, and here's a random picture for the Heckuvit!
There’s a moon out tonight … and if it isn't a Full Moon, it's as close as you can get and not be!
