Readers--over 1000 hits

Just a quick note to acknowledge that at some point this week this blog topped over 1000 hits and added the 6th continent (Africa) to the readership.  It's still USA first and then Russia, but folks from other countries are popping in to check us out.   I suspect we'll never get Antarctica though it'd be very cool if we did.  Still, I'm humbled and honored that, at least once, someone from such far flung places have clicked over here.  Very cool.
