late at night and i've finally finished my blog report which wraps up the numbers of visitors on blogs like this one. this is the king of my blogs; it got over eight thousand last month, and has over four hundred thousand total visitors in history. why? no idea really. i just blab here, say whatever i want, don't even put caps on anything, ramble about my various travels. i make a point of not worrying about grammar or organization though my keyboard is doing some pesky period-drop these days and i am rooting those out...mostly i don't put much up here, i think people visit because it has a cool name and draws a lot of google traffic. out there?...yeah people have a thing with out there, it has a place in our brains. this is one famous blog that glorifies out there...

thank god it's feb, i was getting sick of jan. jan is a death month, too long, too cold, too dark, but at least i lived through it. i don't care what happens to the groundhog, only hope for the usual - eventually spring will come and take over. i've gone to iowa and to brimfield, repeatedly in some cases, but i'll say one thing for illinois, you get out on those interstates, and the farm fields go back into the horizon, and make you feel like there's lots of fresh air out there. in fact it's kind of windy, bleak, snowy, and miserable, with lots of pesticide dumped out there, so even spoon is not fit to drink, better go home and have cadillac water.

which we pay dearly for.
