Here goes . . .<\/p>\n<p>This blog is on an 893-consecutive-day streak. I have posted items on High Plains Blogger for those many days in a row.<\/p>\n<p>I have no intention of letting up.<\/p>\n<p>I want to share (boast, if you don&#8217;t) some news with you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>March was the second-best month recorded by this blog in terms of page views and unique visitors. I am proud to make that announcement.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0The second-best month followed by the best month ever by just two months. High Plains Blogger posted its most productive month in January.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those two record-setting months have set me up for another record year of page views and visitors. I intend to seek to keep the heat burning.<\/p>\n<p>I have discovered a pattern as it regards these best-ever blog performances. They usually include some comment on local matters.<\/p>\n<p>The January and March figures were driven by some posts I published concerning the resignation of an Amarillo High School volleyball coach. There is intense interest in Amarillo in what prompted Kori Clements to quit the AHS post after a single season. Her resignation letter was one of the more, um, declarative such statements I&#8217;ve ever seen. She blamed the school board and the administration for failing to back her as she fended off complaints from a parent who griped at her over playing time given to the parent&#8217;s daughter.<\/p>\n<p>There will be more to come as developments warrant.<\/p>\n<p>I also intend to keep the heat on Donald Trump and those who serve in the president&#8217;s administration. I want to emphasize what I believe is a critical point as I continue to comment: The president and his administration work for us, for you and me. The individuals who report to the president are not paid by him; they are not answerable ultimately to him.<\/p>\n<p>We are the bosses. They all are our employees.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m heading for a 900-consecutive-day streak. I want you to stay with me. I also ask you to share these musings with those with whom you share social media networks.<\/p>\n<p>There. Boasting is over. Until the next time.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=KoriClements%20%23AmarilloISD%20%23volleyball%20%23POTUS%20%23MAGA%20%23HighPlainsBlogger&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time for a quick update.
