I dunno.
My buddy Frank at church today said he’d caught up with lincolndemocrat. He’s been a regular consumer of my balderdash for years. He’s mostly puzzled by politics and politicians and I can’t say any of my twaddle helps clear the air.
Someone else recently laughed at my comment about a strong inclination I might have to speed my car up if I saw Keith Dixon walking across the street ahead of me. That line was lifted straight from my blog so that was another at least occasional reader. My posts concerning the Timberjay although late, were both prompted by a reader who expressed concern that I had let the St. Louis County Schools go adrift. I also get a rare thumbs up for a few posts from a couple more readers. Otherwise that’s it. I could be whistling Dixie into a void for all I know….except that my webpages and this blog are monitored by some Internet machine that keeps track of visitors. Its not the NSA. To my knowledge it has no idea who they are and in any case doesn’t report them by any clues I can recognize to me.
But the statistics which over the years I have reported in the Blog Stats category always interest me. I think most writers are always curious to learn about their audience. Mine must almost exclusively be folks in Duluth. I’ve always figured teachers are a large component as well as my old Anti Red Plan allies and opponents. These are the latest figures which show a drop off in February over what had been a rather small drop off after the conclusion of the November election.

March has only had two days to accumulate stats. The drop off from January isn’t all that huge considering that I offered regular readers much to read. That will change soon as I’ve suggested.
I’m growing more confident that I will be able to unleash myself relatively soon with less blowback to impede my objectives and campaign promise to be honest.
I’ve come awful close to letting the shots fly freely recently. When I do I expect the stats to rise accordingly. Still, I won’t commence firing until I’m reasonably sure my foot is not in the way. I’ve got a few children riding on my shoes just like my grandsons. They make walking a little awkward.
BTW: not me or my grandkids but a man after my own heart.
