Thanks to this post on Reddit, this blog has had 3-4 times the normal daily new visitors as usual. (my regular readers aren't "normal" or they wouldn't be here)
They were following a link left to a post from over a year ago: The Week I Was Born. The subject of the Reddit post was the photo of the man with the huge grasshopper.
Earlier today I took a screenshot of the Feedjit counter and the page changed a half dozen times as I watched, with most new visitors coming from the Reddit site.

There's not been any new non-US visitors, but thanks to the link, there's only one more US state to complete the entire fifty!
In Bozeman City, Montana.
Bozeman City job requirement raises privacy concerns
If you want to work for the city, you'll need to "list any and all, current personal or business websites, web pages or memberships on any Internet-based chat rooms, social clubs or forums, to include, but not limited to: Facebook, Google, Yahoo, YouTube.com, MySpace, etc.," the City form states. There are then three lines where applicants can list the Web sites, their user names and log-in information and their passwords."
Good Grief! It's bad enough for them to require the names of your blogs and forums to which you belong, plus your usernames....but they want your PASSWORDS too?
I always figured that Texas would be one of the last places where stuff like this would be required,but also thought Montana would be THE last place.
"1984" has finally arrived. The end is near when fascists have invaded Montana.
Today marks the day, 194 years ago, that Wellington defeated Napoleon's forces at Waterloo, shaping history to this day.
(one of the funniest things I ever read on a bathroom wall was "Waterloo: Where Napoleon pulled his Bonaparte.")
I could've posted a video in honor of the historical event, but decided on this one instead.
To my close friends who read this blog and know of whom I'm writing, the blonde in ABBA, Agnetha Fältskog, is a spittin' image of elle when she was about 17 yrs. old.
So says the description at the 4-H Eggcam (featured before in ToTG)
The guinea keets have hatched!

NationStates is based upon a novel, Jennifer Government by Max Barry.
From the site:
NationStates is a free nation simulation game. Build a nation and run it according to your own warped political ideals. Create a Utopian paradise for society's less fortunate or a totalitarian corporate police state. Care for your people or deliberately oppress them. Join the World Assembly or remain a rogue state. It's up to you.
NationStates
I've signed up!
Location: The North Pacific
Regional Influence: Minnow
The Republic of ToTG is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21%. A substantial private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Retail.
Crime is moderate. ToTG's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the mike.
