Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

This is me practicing my "camera is on me" smile

"This is Liberty 24. Peace Like A River, repeat, Peace Like A River is down."

"Liberty 24 - Do you have the Blog of the Week?"

*Long pause*

"Negative. Peace Like A River is changing call signs. Peace Like A River is now The Susan Lucci Blog."

0 - 6!!!

BOTW

I'll be alright, I'll land on my feet. I know I have it in me. I mean, I was the Poughkeepsie Fire Station #2 Ladies Auxiliary Spring Garden Social Best Blog (Honorable Mention), and one year I was the Iowa State Fair Pork Blog, and my blog was once chosen to be on a computer screen in the background of a very special episode of Full House. I just have to keep plugging away, and away, and away, and away, and away, and away, and away.

This was purely a team effort. Many humble thanks to my fellow MOBsters for picking me up and trying to heave me across the finish line. Would've been dead in the water from the start if not for the plugs on all your blogs. But thanks most of all for your taking the time to stop by and read.

Oh, we mobsters have our disagreements. Usually settled in great pools of blood on the sidewalk outside some steak house. But we banded together, and there's our victory.

The Diebold machines came through for the Kalifornyuns. After we went up by 5 around 1:30 pm Central time, they came back to outpoint us by 11 or so in the next half hour, including getting five votes in a minute or two. Guido and Luigi will be looking into this shortly.

Lest you think I'm a complete potato, here are all my BOTW entries. Readers are voting with what truly matters, their time and attention, and I'm thankful people take time out of their lives to stop by. (Radioblogger didn't have a botw poll in some of the earlier weeks.)
