High Plains Blogger is going to fall just a bit short of that high-viewer mark. Still, I am proud of the monthly record that will fall in a day or tow &#8230; or perhaps three. What&#8217;s more, there will be several days remaining in this hideous Old Year before we can turn the page and start over in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Traffic on the blog had kind of plateaued over the course of the past several months. I don&#8217;t know if readers are growing bored with my topics, or whether they&#8217;ve just moved on to other pursuits, seeking other versions of the truth that comes from yours truly.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, I have enjoyed a strong finish to an otherwise miserable year. Of course, the misery that came this year has nothing to do with the blog, at least not for me.<\/p>\n<p>So, with that I&#8217;ll go now. I just add to brag a bit.
