Sixty thousand posts. So, that's a nice round number.

 

ok, and 19 more before I looked at the scoreboard and noticed I had passed the goal. 




there just aren't many photos of 10s of thousands of poles

if you try and find a photo with 60,000 poles, Google shows you crowds of Polish people, I kid you not. 

So this logging jam photo from the old days will have to do. After all, logs are made into telephone poles... so, ergo, logs are poles. And I've posted photos of logging yards in the past... so, now it was time for a bigger better photo with the most poles yet. 

So, 60k. Not bad for a car guy. I think this is the 3rd laptop, 5th or 6th mouse, 18 years and some months, 3rd commuter car, 2 part time weekend jobs, 12 regular full time jobs, 5  or 6 different conventions, and there must be some other interesting things by the numbers (to quote John, the long roof fan https://oleragtop.blogspot.com ) 

And by the way, you CAN look through all the archives by using the "Older Posts" button at the bottom of the pages of posts, or using the "Archive" links on the right hand side of the page to look at some particular year, or week


and I actually recommend those years 2013-2017 for some of the best posts. I had more time back then to do deep research on articles

    1. thank YOU! It's not a chore, but, its a compulsion, I guess, that I enjoy, It's going to be a problem when I decide I need to learn guitar, work on my book of family history, my book of hometown history, and my anthology book of poetry. Besides, the frequent times I have to focus on getting a new job. Yeah, one of those is certainly coming up soon.

    3. Congratulations on this milestone. I think Knuckledraggin is might shut down some time this year. I don't read it often, but I looked at it recently, and he had just come back from taking time off for the holidays, and said that he plans to quit blogging or cut way back. eWillys was going to shut down, but Dave found someone to take over the site.

  5. All of your posts are still great! I have been looking at them almost every day for many of those years. The only other blog in my favorites is the "Daily timewaster" that you turned me onto quite a while ago. Thank you.
