On Veecation

 Did I get your attention with the title of this blog? That's good. Veecation is the pronunciation for what the rest of the world calls fun and frivolity. Our dear friends in northern Minnesota speak this way. I try not to laugh openly.

As I mentioned yesterday I'm taking time off to watch the Iowa State Cyclones play the Mountaineers of West Virginia. I need to apologize to the nice folks in the state east of Ohio. Once in awhile I'll make fun of them but it's all in jest. The are very fine people and I know they have pride in their state when they emphasize it's history by saying West 'By God' Virginia. Some of you may not know this but WV was carved out of the state of Virginia by Abe Lincoln. These folks were not a slave state and thus joined the North in the great conflict. And what law did Lincoln invoke to create the state. None. He just flat out did it. Sort of like the way Bidumb does today.

In conclusion, and this happens every once in awhile on this blog: I usually average around 500 page views daily but the last week it has jumped up to 10,000. I wish I knew the reason for this. My old format for this blog told me who my viewers were by country. Not any more. It's only a guess. The big question for me was when I looked at my viewers in the old days I'd find readers from Pakistan. Go figure.

I'll be back on Monday if not sooner. Go Cyclones!
