Mark Twain said, “There are
three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.” This does not speak well for statistics. Nonetheless, I’d like to discuss a few. My blog has just reached what I consider to
be a significant milestone. My wife
actually considers my blog a millstone, but enough about romance. I began posting to my blog in December of
2010, about two years ago. As of this
week, it has received over 11,000 pageviews from all around the world.
Following is the breakdown as per Google statistics:
United States

It may be that I’m simply easily
entertained and a bit narcissistic, but I find this fascinating. The thought that my photographs, poetry, musings
and partisan rants have reached fellow earthlings all over the planet is both
astonishing and strangely gratifying. I’d like very much to become better acquainted
with these citizens of the globe who have taken time from their busy schedules
to appreciate my humble efforts. Faced
by the evidence that someone actually visits this remote outpost, I feel
increased responsibility to see that my postings better warrant their time and
efforts. So, realizing fully that my
facebook pages, email address and website are already easily accessible from
this site, I will repost my contact information here, in the hope that some of
you may feel free to contact me so that we can determine our mutual interests, and
I can concentrate future posts on those topics which you and I have in common.
Thanks for your patience; thanks for your time and thanks for your kind
attention.
Cordially,
Shannon Thomas Casebeer
