Holly Has Been Adopted

I just received a cal from one of the Deputies at the Court House informing me he and his Bride just returned from the Humane Society after adopting Holly.

These are the kind of phone calls I appreciate more than any other. It will take several more days for Holly to come home as she's being micro chipped and getting the remainder of her shots and the they'll surprise the kids with an early Christmas Present.

Keep the good news coming and again, THANK YOU!

From A Loyal Reader

This was written following the 9-11 attacks. I do not know who wrote it. I pray that nothing like 9-11 will ever happen again. I am sending this in hopes that many who read this will remember this the next time they make stupid threats like the one against Mr. Joe and his family on Thanksgiving. I would much rather be thought of as these brave Firemen are than the one who made the threat. Although not mentioned, I think this would also apply to Policemen. These men and women did NOT run for their own safety and truly understood the REAL reason they became Fire and Police Personel. Sometimes, people need to be reminded.

I have always thought that angels wore halos and wings of white

But now I find they wear hard hats and black coats with yellow stripes

And angels, in my mind, wore long flowing gowns of white

But now I see dark pants and shirts and badges shining bright

And angels always floated with bare feet above the ground

Not true! For they wear steel toed boots and go where death is found

Not all angels have smooth hands that look like porcelain

Some angels have torn gloves and cuts and burns upon their skin

And while I thought all angels glowed from heavens light

I see an angel cutting steel his torch is shining bright

And while these earthly angels passed buckets of debris

The angels up in heaven looked down on bended knee

So while the smoke continued to rise into the sky

I watched the rescue workers weep I've seen the angels cry

2008 Wicomico Yacht Club Christmas Boat Parade Tonight

Joe,

You have always given us publicity in the past and we wanted to give you the updated information. The Wicomico Yacht Club 2008 Christmas Boat Parade will be held Saturday evening November 29. The parade format has changed this year. The fleet will depart Wicomico Yacht Club at approximately 4:15PM and proceed up river toward Salisbury. We should arrive in downtown Salisbury about 6:30PM and immediately the fleet will move back down the river and arrive back at WYC around 8:30PM. The public may view the parades return to the club from WYC grounds. This will give spectators along the river two opportunities to view the display. For additional information please call 410-430-2282.

Thanks For Your Support,
Wicomico Yacht Club,
Scott McCurdy, Commodore

Monoblogue Has No Influence Whatsoever & Here's Proof

Below are the Site Meter numbers for Monoblogue. Although Michael claims he has increased some 45% this past year, I was almost right on when I said he had very few hits and increasing 45% didn't really mean much and I was right.

It's a shame someone can put so many years into a Blog, (3+ years) and only average 82 hits per day but as I've told Michael for the past few years, he's too verbose in every single Post he does and I never believed he did any real volume anyway.

I will no longer consider his Site as one of the top Blogs on the Eastern Shore because ANYONE can start a Blog and get these kind of hits no matter what the content is. I remember when I started National-Joe-A-Graphic and I was averaging 250 hits a day 3 years ago.

Now don't get me wrong, Michael is a very smart man and knows his politics. However, when he runs around saying he's an influential political Blogger, PLEASE! Hell, he'll get more hits off this Post than he gets in one month.

Currently Michael is #1 on Delmarva and #2 in Maryland. With the information below directly from Site Meter, Blognetnews has no clue what they're doing. Now I know some Bloggers will read this and say, Albero is just ticked off because he didn't rank that high this past week. That's just not true. Quite frankly, I'm pleased someone else is filling my shoes but I will admit that I'd rather see someone beating me out who actually posts more than once a day and gets thousands of hits per day. It's pretty bad when Michael's Site beats me out with only 82 hits per day. There's no question linking to one and other works and no matter what those other Bloggers say, I now have proof.

It doesn't matter what he says, I have seen his numbers and averages and I have even saved those images for future reference but more influential, I don't think so. So the next time you rag on me Michael, the joke is now on you and will forever be that way.
