The traffic counter …
… seems to be back to normal, now that I’ve installed the updated code.
For those of you who didn’t see the original post on the subject and don’t know what I’m talking about, please go here.
And once again I want to thank everyone who posted a comment in that thread. It’s heartwarming, comforting, and inspiring to hear from you.
Talking about traffic, has anybody ever heard of Elon Musk’s “Boring Company”?
I’d never heard about it till reading this Instapundit post and it looks pretty amazing:
“AND TO THINK IT WAS LOS ANGELES TRAFFIC THAT INSPIRED MUSK TO LAUNCH THE BORING COMPANY”—

Barry,
I’ve been following Musk’s boring escapades for years. He is an incredible polymath. Perhaps the greatest of the last century.
I assume you’ve heard of his solar roof technology? https://www.inverse.com/innovation/tesla-solar-roof-cost-availability-how-to-buy-install
Gerard’s poetry book is now dropped from your header. And I wanted to share an idea our loving host might act on to promote his legacy.
Singers and songwriters need quality, meaningful lyrics to inspire their work. Perhaps you could target some to see if there’s an interest there?
I don’t know how you can reach them, except through agents and stimulating word-of-mouth. Maybe, snail mail certain pages copy? Or email the same? So, reach out to tap this vein, please.
The only caution is, of course, to be prepared for the artist to alter and adapt his literal words. Perhaps completely.
Yet, I cannot help but vibrate to fact that this kind of unique memorial could prove monumental! Possibly, the finest testament to his legacy?
No, but just looked at the site.
Thanks!
Speaking of traffic, I’ve been a regular reader, and occasional commenter, for about 20 years now. Our esteemed host is the main reason to come, but you can’t discount the overall high quality of the comments. There’s always good discussion here. It’s not just a blog, but a community.
I obviously can’t speak for everyone here, but I suspect my opinion is shared by others: You don’t need to thank me…it’s your quality writing and insightful commentary that keeps me coming back.
Thank *you*.
