Romania? Blogging is a strange experience. Here I am, an old (81) guy in the mountains of New Mexico, blasting out the occasional commentary on whatever makes me the craziest - or the happiest. Folks from a wide variety of countries check it out. It's humbling and confusing.  But THANKS for giving it a look. I understand the Russians and the Chinese dropping in - I write a lot about them.

Look Back Six Months ... Things were Slightly Less Crazy THIS IS NOT A GOOD TREND. 17 Posts in 30 days, OK for and olde dude. I'd say they are all fairly pertinent even here in the Slightly More Crazy Zone. "Breaking News" they ain't, and we are addicted to "this just in." A bit of look-back is good for the perspective (and the soul). Just click on a title to see the post. SINGLE PAYER!

The Russians Really Like My Blog

Google's BlogSpot Service Maps the Page Views * The country with the second most page views?  RUSSIA. Hmmm. Since I started writing frequently about the massive Russian invasion of our social media, the Rooskies have been checking my blog regularly. Sometimes they hit me with a super wave of probes. (This data from Blogger) Nearly 200 hits in one hour January 17, 2018 I hope they are enjoying what they read about their slimy propaganda techniques!
