30,000 Milestone Passed!

Dear Readers:

I started this blog in December, 2007.  This week, 655 posts and eight years and nine months later, Brave Gnu Whirled passed its thirty thousandth page view!  Readership is growing.  It took
495 posts and four years and seven months to get to the first ten thousand, 90 posts and one year and five months to record the second ten thousand, and 70 posts and 1 year and seven months to surpass the third ten thousand!  I sincerely thank everyone who subscribes or just checks in and looks around, either regularly or just every once in awhile.

Whether it's a comment on politics, society, the news, or a personal item, this blog is an outlet for me.  I hope it's also a diversion for you.  Whether it informs, amuses or exasperates, my object is that it always at least interests.

After the United States, the next most popular areas of readership lately have been Germany, France, Russia, Ukraine and Japan. So,  thank you, merci, spasiba, gracias, danke, Дякую and arigato to everyone!
