Sometime in the recent past I passed the 4000 mark here. I was reminded of it as I hit the “Back” arrow after keying in most of a post I’ll never send and I realized that I’d have gotten to this point even sooner if I had done that less. (Yes, there is stuff that is too stupid even for ME to post.) Since we could all use a party, the cooler is full of Pete’s Wicked Summer Ale and the fridge and pantry have all your favorite appetizers. Make yourself at home. ---

Might as well. I hit 1000 sometime during this summer but have no idea when. ::heads for the pantry:: ---

Of course you should celebrate, **drop**! We can have a joint party. Congrats on hitting 4k, and I’m glad to have met you. Here’s to 4k more. ---

Sure I hit two thousand yesterday but nobody noticed…I just happened to notice this morning when I made post 2001 and suddenly out of nowhere I heard the strains of “Thus Spake Zarathustra”… Happy belated post 4K Dave…Keith ---

Dave’s not here! Happy 2k, **Odie-Cologne**! Thank you, **Rasa** and **Jeff** (who spells it right–“EN” 😉 )! Quit bogarting that, **Delta**! I’ve been thinking a lot about my time here, the friends I’ve made, the events I’ve witnessed. Then I forgot it all. Toss me a beer. ---
