"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes forthe candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, withthe result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." -1787, Alexander Tyler
I have this feeling no one is reading my blog. Is this true? C'mon, people, tell me it ain't true. No one ever comments and since I can't tell how many, if any, visitors I've had, I'm kind of left hanging. Anyway, got back from Hot Springs. Saw some cool documentaries, one especially called HomeGrown, about this family in California with an urban homestead where they harvested 6,000 lbs. of food in just one year in their back yard. Very worthwhile and inspiring thing to watch. Welll, dreary night out, though not on the carrriage. Am reading the biography of Jack London after reading Call of the Wild for the first time recently. His biography, called Sailor on Horseback, is so good, I have trouble putting it down!!
Well, to whomever does read this blog still, I hope you have a great day tomorrow and all weekend!
Sincerely,
The English Major Herself,
me

i'm still keeping up, through the magic of rss, even if i haven't felt compelled to comment in a while. my life's kind of been turned upside down lately. anyway, look up google analytics if you want an easy way to monitor who's looking at what, and from where, and for how long, blah blah blah etc etc. if you have trouble installing it let me know and i can drop by the store someday and try to lend a hand. talk to you later. -dave
You could always get a blogging friend to help with posts and traffic.
I am still reading.
Thanks Dave- I will try that- and Tom, what is a blogging friend? Thanks, btw, ya'll, I feel a little less like I am blogging into a well.
I dont know you but I read and follow when you post. Do you really drive horses downtown too?
Jenny- Yeah, I've been a carriage driver for the past five years. I rather enjoy it- do you live in Memphis? If so, you should come take a ride sometime! Thanks for reading, btw
Also still reading. Have you considered adding Google analytics? It gives you a snapshot of who is reading, and can be a useful (if, occasionally depressing) tool. It's as easy to set up as your blog.
Hey! Cool blogspot! Was great to meet you over the weekend and I hope you are feeling better. Hope the weather is warm and the carriage busy! Talk with you soon ~ Bonnie
