The Din and the Blog (Once Upon a Time....)
HELLO GENTLE READERS:
A Blogger that I often read wrote the other day that Bloggers just add to the general din in a world saturated with noise. He may be right. This ol' world was been spinning for over 5 billion yeas without the Weblog. Of course, it also spun without Pop Tarts, Hershey's Kisses and antibiotics.
I guess we do add to the "communication racket" but, I love blogging. I love writing and reading what others have written.There are some very, very clever people using this medium. I suspect that we are riding a wave that will keep on swelling. Anytime you click on a posting you may be reading the new era Hemmingway!
Wow! We even keep score with our "hits". I sure do, anyway. I'm not going to write a "fallen tree in the woods"! I blog at two different sites and since February of this year, I've had over 70,000 "hits". A local publisher has told me that at 100,000 he will publish a book based on the posts. A book? You know. Those things with covers and pages and the like!

I like the fact that our blogs start dialog. Yes, it may be a part of a racket, as in noise, but, we have a forum to say what we want. An awful lot of us are using it. Hopefully to provoke some thought. Some of it is annoying, but what medium doesn't have that. We sort through, find what we like and enjoy it. I don't expect Everyone to like what I do. I'm just happy some do. By the way, good to see the blogs again. Blog Hard!
