Blogging Continues To Decline

      At least, that's what my Statcounter report tells me, and I have no reason to doubt it.  Social media whomps the slow read and my unpopular opinions have only become more so.

      Still, my opinions remain mine.  In the beginning, it was just me and webcrawler robots.  If it gets to be that way again, I'm okay with it.

    I don't know if reads via RSS count but you've got at least one daily reader still. (Since 2012ish? I don't remember exactly...)

    I appreciate the very pragmatic viewpoint you offer. A calm voice in a morass of... Whatever we have.

    I am a daily reader. Even when I disagree with your comments or conclusions (rarely) I enjoy reading what you have written. It is well reasoned and civil, both are getting rarer and rarer in today's internet. Social media is rude and full of anger with little logical thought. Thank you for posting your thoughts and please, please continue.

    I never had any remarkable numbers of views on my blog, so I just keep plugging along. It's a good way to show my 90 year old mother what is going on in our world, and also a few friends who click. Blogging has made some good friends, some we have met, others are online only friends. Don't fret about people disagreeing with you. You have done a world of good over the years on your blog.

    Don't ever quit.

    Your words and thoughts are important.

    Along with Tam and Brigid, a daily "must read".

    I find your essays thoughtful. I don't agree with all of your opinions, but they are in the minority. You've been right-on about that insurrection thing.

    I consider myself to have a larger-than-average vocabulary, and you make me break out the dictionary on occasion.

    You eat much better than I do. I don't think I've ever knowingly consumed a parsnip. :)

    Your work comments are also interesting...I've been in the same business for over 40 years, and I'm guessing witnessed a lot of the same fascinating and stupid stuff you have. Please carry on, while I hide out here with the bots.

    Just keep at it, I hope. I enjoy it.

    I've been reading your blog for years and will continue to do so. Truly enjoy an alternate view of the world. Cheers from a fellow Hoosier.
