I have had a pretty good run over the past week or so.<\/p>\n

By that I mean this blog I have been writing full time since the summer of 2012. Here’s what I mean.<\/p>\n

I came within a few hundred hits on my blog of setting a single-day record. My traffic was exploding over the course of several days. Then, just as suddenly as it skyrocketed, it settled back down to a more, um, normal pace.<\/p>\n

My blog-traffic explosion filled me with some sense of hope that High Plains Blogger had reached a whole new audience out there in cyberworld. I don’t think that’s really the case.<\/p>\n

I love writing this blog. It has given me a sense of purpose, although it surely isn’t my sole purpose for awakening each day. It’s just one of them. It allows me to vent. It gives me an avenue to share some thoughts with those who take the time to read them. I encourage folks to share them with their social media contacts\/friends\/loved ones\/adversaries as well.<\/p>\n

I don’t know who is doing it. I just want to take this opportunity to encourage everyone who looks at my spewage each day to share them with whomever you think might want to see it, or should<\/em> see it.<\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll get another surge like the one I have just enjoyed.<\/p>\n

Thank you in advance.<\/p>\n\n
