Peyton Place

I ran a check on me and found out that I am listed as living with my ex and his wife.  It doesn't say that, it simply lists their address as mine.  I have never even seen the house, let alone lived in it, but there it was!

That piece of misinformation is fodder for all kinds of stories.  I could write a murder mystery, or a "look at how messed up the internet is" rant.  I could even write a love story.  The possibilities are endless.

In the past we relied on the village gossips to keep life interesting-- if not factual.  Over the fence communication made sure everyone knew which side of the calendar people were born on, who was hopping burrow to burrow, and the "real" reasons people were doing what they did.

Now that small towns are getting larger this is not as effective, but the Internet has jumped in and filled the gap. 

Thanks to popular names, outright poor guessing and an eagerness to know all the dirty details, it is possible to hang over a million backyard fences all at once.

Peyton place has gone viral!
