Given the fitful start and stop nature of Smoke on the Water over the past couple years, I'm surprized it's come to this.
But at 6:25pm last night, the following event was recorded in my visitor & referal log.

That, ladies and gentleman, was the two-hundred and fifty thousandth hit on this blog. A small milestone to be sure, but noted all the same.
Thanks Marcus, for sending that visitor over from your site!
For the scant few who've stuck by Smoke on the Water, even in silent times.... and to those who may be brand new readers. My sincere and heartfelt thanks, one and all.
It's a long voyage, sir. True friends don't abandon their allies in good times or bad, or if you are posting once a day versus once every six months. We all look forward to more of your excellent, well written essays.

Congrat's Jim.
You should see this as a sign to get a proper sailing vessel, something classy like a 40 ft sailing catamaran.
It allows you get more cats.
It allows your cauliflower ears to heal.
It is much faster if you have to leave quickly.
You are a great writer and please not so many silent times.
