If your definition of “low cost luxury travel” entails dealing with a psychotic teenager on an ever escalating hell ride through several Midwestern US states… count me out. This would be a good entree into telling my “bus” story… not quite as good as the JFK Airport one but dramatic all the same. One of the freakier moments of my life. But I don’t feel like writing about it now. Though it happened in August in the early 1980’s, it’d make a good Halloween story. It haunts me still.

Reached another milestone yesterday – the 200,000th visitor to this here site. Yee haw! Though I’m glad my efforts are not in vain I’m not in this for popularity. I just like sharing some of the random interesting, cool, weird, beautiful,  funny, and offensive things I find on the internet. What still fascinates me though is the global reach of this site. Now someone – or a lot of someones in some country’s cases – has visited from every nation and territory on earth EXCEPT China, North Korea, & Cuba (where I must be banned), some of the poorest nations on earth (Papua New Guinea, Haiti, Mali, Chad, Niger, Somalia), and Kazakhstan. Though it’s no surprise that North American, Western European, and Australian visitors are the most numerous I’m glad to see so many visitors enjoying this site especially from Brazil but also India, Russia, Turkey and Islamic nations. Hell, there’s even been a visitor from Iran – who I assume is none other than the ayatollah himself looking at pictures of shirtless hockey players. Anyway, thanks and ENJOY!
