Tank Battery Explosion

Near Lamesa, TX May 15, 2009

WARNING: Some cursing. If it'd been ME taking the video, you'd have heard a lot more.

Thank goodness there's no smell-a-vision.



Slow motion vid no sound

I remember my dad having to go put out fires on top of his tank batteries and heater treaters after lightning hit them.

Flag Counter

Stumbled across another nifty service similar to Feedjit; this one is Flag Counter, a free "sticky" counter that's easily customized to one's site or blog.

Here's an example of what it looks like:



The above screenshot is from the Flag Counter site.

From the website:

Add our free counter to any website, it's just a simple image. Every time someone from a new country visits your site, a new flag will be added to your counter. The total number of visitors from each country will be shown next to the flag, and clicking the counter image will reveal all sorts of useful information!

I put it at the very bottom of this "page" and have it set up for all flags and eight columns.

I know, I know...I'm overly optimistic. I'm lucky to get any visitors from other countries at all, except those with gay dwarf and sister's feet fetishes.

EDIT/UPDATE

The counter has been up for one week and we've had 308 visitors from 41 countries with 700 visits.
