On 04-17-2008 I published my first post, on this, my first blog. It was during the heat of the Obama-Clinton Democratic primary race.
Now, I want to thank some folks.
- First, a gentleman who has chosen to remain anonymous. He suggested not once, but twice, that I start a blog, and provided helpful hints. It was his statement that a blog can be like a diary that would live long after I did not, that brought me to my decision. Immortality by Internet?
- Second, my most faithful reader and commenter, Wayne in Pa. He constantly keeps me honest with his opinions, both pro and con. I look forward to my future October post about our favorite team, the Chicago Cubs, winning the World Series. After all, won't such a win reverse global warming? I mean, it will mean that Hell has finally frozen over, right?
- Third, to commenter Bfoxy, who offers that all-too-rare combination - intelligent conservative opinion. Just kidding!
- Fourth through forty-eighth, the readers from the 45 countries that have read my postings since I installed StatCounter in August, 2008. The following is a breakdown of the visits. As the most famous ad campaign of my former employer, AT&T, used to say, "Reach out and touch someone!"

Heh, intelligent conservative opinion being rare. You're right, that is a good joke.
Glad you could take the joke, Bfoxy! I suspect that only you and Bill O'Reilly would do so. Glenn Beck... maybe... but Sean Hannity... look out!
And I wish to Thank You Mr. Thinker for providing me with the numerous "thought exercises".
Have you provided the "Feds" with this info concerning the fix for global warming??
Create happy Cubs fans and cure a global problem all in package....priceless!!!
You are quite welcome, Mr. Wayne from Pa.
My primary communication with the Feds lately has been an electronic communique cleverly disguised as a Top Secret document, code name "1040".
