25. Who knows. But what are the odds that a person

Jun 2019

who posted every hour, who was SO much a part of the effort here to make sense of it all, who was on the verge of discovering a questionable pattern in the Florida election results just happen to keel over that night?

I wrote often about it then, and then like once, maybe 4-5 years later. When I did, within, I swear 2 minutes, someone responded...dissing it all and saying that they saw tinfoilhat's post the next day after I thought she had disappeared. (False) How in the world would someone who knew all about it suddenly see my post and respond so quickly? And why so adamant about it???

One of the greatest fishy moments in my life!!
