Hi All,

Last Saturday night at 8:30PM PDT Don and I wrote down the visitor count from the board and it was 175,268 and as I entered tonight, it had reached 177,088. That means we've had 1820 visitors to this site in the past 7 days.

I think even by a wide margin if we posters check in daily several times a day, we might take 100 hits a week between all of us, therefore the number of guests recorded I find rather phenomenal. Geez and it seems like just a little coffee corner where a few folks have a conversation or two during the week.

Therefore, I shall say to all of our visitors, thanks for dropping by, but whenever you're ready to drop in, know you are indeed welcome at any time. But if you've got the inclination now, please contact our board Mistress of Ceremonies, Canie quickly before she heads to China for a month.

To Canie, thank you so much for all of your efforts. You are a bright spot up and coming to the world of science and we do look to you for what you're learning in sharing it with us. Your job here is never an easy one, but you surely make it look like it is. That says Pizzazz all over it.

To the rest of the board members, may I say, it is a pleasure to share this space with you, hear you out on your points of view, whether I agree with them or not. We all need to maintain our sense of self and gather from others education and information which expands our horizons and helps us grow and become more well rounded individuals.

I am very thankful for what I have learned and enjoyed from this what seems a small place and I hope in taking it with me everywhere I go, a little part of you goes with me.

Peace, Light & More Home Runs....Petra
