Five Hundred Thousand

I started this blog almost three years ago. The first month the blog had 648 hits.

Six hundred and forty eight.

Now I'll see that many hits in a day.

Nice.

I have to say, I'm having fun with this little experiment in story telling, historical discourse and the occasional trivia session.

Oh yeah, the occasional rant. Sometimes we have rants.

I have two co-bloggers now, Juvat and Tuna.

Both, like me, are retired military. Tuna was Navy, Juvat was Air Force. Both, unlike me, were officers. Both, unlike me, were flyers. Juvat flew Phantoms and Eagles, Tuna was a Naval Flight Officer in the Mighty War Hoover.

In my early days, I maintained the Weapon Control Systems (think radar and gunsight) on old Double Ugly, the F-4C and the F-4D.

We couldn't have made this place work without the good folk who "tune in" every day to read what we have to offer. We really appreciate you, our Dear Readers. Even the ones who don't comment. Hey, every blog has to have "lurkers," right?

Anyhoo. I'm going to go rest on my laurels for a while. I might be back with more later today. Hard to say.

I need to kick back and savor the moment.

Seriously, my (our) thanks to all of you.

You keep reading, we'll keep writing.

In other news, it snowed again on Saturday.
Oh boy...

Feeling blue?
(Nah, just a trick of the light...)
