You like me, you really like me.

   According to Technorati, Aurora Walking Vacation has cracked the top thirty... thousand. The most recent search results show that this blog is among the 29,060 most popular blogs on the web. At least among the 14 million blogs that Technorati tracks. Sure, sounds silly, but that puts me into the top 0.2% of all blogs tracked.
   OK, fine! A ton of blogs are abandoned wastelands, and a huge number of them are bot generated spam disseminators, but if only half of those are legit blogs, I'd still be in the top 1%. Pretty cool, I think.

   Toot, toot!

You're twice the man I am, Paul.  Good show!

of coarse, I had to check too....it says #3617.  I'm not sure out of what?  I'm not really familiar with this...I was able to set up my name and upload a photo and the rank came up as that number above.

Hello again....I needed you to see that I have been reading your blog and I hope that I helped to make your blog a little popular with the many times I came to visit your blog. I have been meaning to leave you a comment to show that I am a huge fan of your blog and I will continue to be a fan. Your blog is a favorite of mine so I thought I would write you and let you know that I came by for another read. Your writing is something many of us have come to enjoy reading time and time and time and time again. Keep up the good work......

Alright, I took a vanity leap and I'm 20,011. Only 11 away from cracking the under 20,000 bracket. Quick, someone link me or whatever is done to get those 11 spots out of the way!
