So, i just checked out the weekly hit counter for the first time in a while and found something fairly disturbing. Especially if you’re Steve and Carin who used to be running a pretty successful place here.
You’ll recall when I returned this summer I swore, half jokingly, that I would manage to drive the readership away and crush any success Steve and Carin had built. A few weeks later I showed some stats that, at the time, were comical that showed I may have been succeeding.
Well, unforunately for my self-respect, this was not a blip on the radar but a resounding comment on my appeal. lol. Please take note of the, somewhat noticeable, trend that has developed over the last 13 weeks since I’ve come back.

Week 35

Week 37

Week 38

Week 39

Week 40

Week 41

Week 42

Week 43

Week 44

Week 45

It’s not funny anymore. I was amused after 2 or 3 weeks when it seemed like a strange co-incidence and I could joke about it. But after 12 weeks of this, it becomes a little depressing.
I mean look at some of those weekly drops. It’s hard to believe that Steve ate ALL of them… some of them are lagitimately choosing to not come back.
It’s a sad day. Hopefully America’s new President can set this downward trend in the economy and our site readership back on the right path.
