Milestone in Context
Today this blog passed 100,000 page views since June of 2008 when I started keeping track. It's a big milestone for a small subject, what it's like to go back in the Army when you are older than dirt. Just to put in context, I checked the traffic on one of my favorite blogs, pharyngula. This very entertaining blog by PZ Myers has had 88 million page views in the last several years. I suppose Justin Bieber has 88 million page views on a good day.
