This is it fans……
6 years!
Thanks to you all I’ve actually climbed the blog ranks this year. I had quit watching because the stats were so low, then boom! Here I am at 8283 out of 1,262,120.

And it doesn’t matter. I still enjoy this and with elections coming up, there is bound to be lots to say. This blog has served my purposes over the years and has introduced me to many other interesting opinions over the years. My blog roll will be updated soon, but in the meantime be sure to visit some regular linkers. (not because they link, but because they’re good and they link)
ThreeSources
House of Erotosthenes
and Tai Chi Policy
And of course, Environmental Republican who I’ve missed this year as real life has gotten busier for him.
Thank you all for visiting….keep enjoying the sphere because all of that information continues to need dissecting.

Congratulations!! As the first and a consistent follower and beneficiary of your thoughts, I am very happy you continue to power through and blog!! 8283 is fabulous placement!!
Oh, And I love the new photo at the top.
Wow, congrats! And thanks for the shout-out!
Terri, thank you for caring enough about it all to post. Happy Birthday to you and btw I love the new picture too….it should be enlarged to 60″ wide and mounted on foam core!
Thank you all. It has been fun. I can’t believe I’ve kept it up. Thank goodness for “Links” day! Glad you like the photo. Taken one year ago today.
As an early (maybe no. 2) and inconsistent follower of your blog I would add my congratulations to you for your tenacity and perseverance in keeping up what must be a real chore at times – but then when you are ranking as high as you currently are you do have an obligation to your readers – and another HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU – lobe you.
Correction – love you
AND the photo is great – brings back great memories – keep it for a while.
Hrrrummmph! I thought I was the first!! okay, well I will take third place. Hope you are having a fabulous day!!
a happy anniversary to you! thanks for the occasional guest blogs… will probably be nringing mine back out of the box this summer
