88,000+ Visits, and a Couple of Pirates

In the last 24 hours this blog has had approximately 1,000 visits. It's a new record, by far, but I'm not particularly happy about it. It pushed us way past the 88,000 milestone (we're now at 88,635), but most of the visits came from pirates in a couple of countries, possibly working in concert.

C'est la vie, I guess. They have good taste, but nothing much in the way of ethics. Times are tough, I know, but it's no excuse.

I'd rather speak to the rest of you, who are not abusing your access to this blog. Once again I would like to say thank you for your continuing interest, your loyalty, and your enthusiasm. Merci, gracias, obrigado, go raibh maith agat, wadó, ꮹꮩ.

Ode 2 of Solomon

I thank thee, Father, for the blessing of this new day,
and ask that thou guide me and strengthen me in its use,
so as to use it wisely and give glory to thee.
Let this house and all who are in it be well and safe,
and let thy abundant peace be always upon it.
I give thee thanks, O heavenly Father, for my nakedness,
that there be no obstruction between me and thy creation,
nor impediment to thy glorious sun, which is like unto thee.
