Whazzup with this blog?

Greetings, loyal readers! I had NO idea this blog would have such an "after life." I just checked the statistics for the first time in weeks. The numbers were shocking. There were 45 visits to the blog in the week ending May 31 with 97 pages views!

Now get this:

As the blog header notes, we started this effort in early November 2008. We installed a Site Meter on February 14. Since mid-February, this blog has recorded an incredible 1,791 visits and 3,421 pages views! Shocking? You betcha.

What does this mean? Well, for starters, it means I really ought to consider bringing this blog back to life. I can't really change the address of the blog--it's fixed as the "winter0809" address. That was pretty shortsighted of me to give it such a narrowly focused name. However, I can indeed change the "working" title of the blog to something other than "The Great Winter..."

Our weather obviously continues to be very weird and I'm betting it's Mt. Redoubt's Legacy. Sooo...I am temporarily going to begin posting to this blog once again. I hope to be able to run a poll to get your opinions as to whether I should continue to post or simply leave the blog alive as a place to visit all the links at left.

Thank You for visting and ya'll come back!

(Note: After writ5ing the above, I added a simple poll, as you can see at left. It's actually a Twitter app. but it works great with blogs, too. Please give it a shot.)

I do hope you continue this blog into the next season, since winter has not really come to an end up here in the Idaho mountains. Looks like it's going to be a cool, short summer, an early fall, and another long, hard winter in 09/10. We need your leadership on this one!
