Star One Smart Blog's

30,000 visitors to this site. A small dollop, a half-day's action on a 'real' blog, but worth noting here, kind of like the odometer on a car that turns 30K and you glance idly around to see where you're at...in my case, well, I'm still here. That in itself is a minor triumph.

So, thanks 30K from Lebanon, Tennessee, coming here from NIT to see what 'chop I laid down on poor Villiam (actually, I'm going to miss his posting over there. He had, like, a red towel he would wave to attract the Conservative bulls. What I couldn't understand was why the outlandishness of his posts seemed so reasonable to him.)

Guess I just don't get out to visit places like KOS and DU enough to see what's normal for those people.

On the subject of shipwrecks, I've always wanted to post this YouTube tribute video of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

RIP, to those 29 men whose lives ended on that cold, stormy night on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975.
