I checked my FB wall before ‘reloading’ ‘on the thickness of things’.
‘Zuckerberg’ made me an offer I couldn’t refuse:
“Your Memories on Facebook
Sarchis, we care about you and the memories you share here. We thought you’d like to look back on this post from 4 years ago.”
Wow, a robot – you know that FB is involved way over its head in AI, don’t you? – which cares about it’s client…
Anyway…
Here’s what I posted then:
“A Dog’s Life
An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard.
I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home
and was well taken
care of.
He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head. He
then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in
the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and
resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour.
This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious I pinned a note to his collar: ‘I would like to find out who
the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that
almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.’
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to
his collar:
‘He lives in a home, with my non stop chatting and nagging wife,
he’s trying to catch up on his sleep ……
Can I come with him tomorrow ?
Thanks !”
Since I do not have any recollection about this I googled some of it in an attempt to find it’s origin.

The same text has been published by tens and tens of sites.
Or maybe more? I just scrolled down on the search results page, didn’t count them…
It looks like things do have a certain thickness, don’t they?
