It has been three and a half years (almost to the day) since my last post here and a lot has happened in that time--globally, nationally and personally. So much so that I've neglected the blog. It was never my intention to do this, it just happened. I'm going to try to update more often but life can and does interfere with one's plans.
Speaking of plans, many people in the U.S. states of North and South Carolina had their plans disrupted by Mother Nature via a hurricane named Florence. At its' strongest, this hurricane reached Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson scale but lost strength and was a Category 1 hurricane when it made landfall in the morning of September 14 in southern North Carolina. As of this posting, the storm is no longer a hurricane, but a tropical storm, moving very slowly through South Carolina and is expected to turn north by Monday the 17th. I hope everyone that is being impacted is safe.
On a completely unrelated subject, blogger.com, like many websites owned by google, provides its users statistics on how their blog(s) is performing. I never paid attention to these until tonight when I discovered where in the world my blog was being viewed/read and I was surprised. Under the 'Audience' page of the 'Stats' section shows that besides the United States, views of the blog came from nine other countries. I was really surprised. Of course I know of the the global reach of the Internet but for my microscopic, non-monetized, and sometimes abandoned, blog to have an international audience just perplexes and surprises me but I'm also feel happy about it.
As I said earlier, I'm going to try to update more often but it definitely will not be on a regular schedule due to my half-empty mind. :) Until next time, "Live Long and Prosper".
