Monthly blog hits begin to soar

Back in November of 2008, I came across some referrals from AlphaInventions and I visited their site. I discovered that blog developer Cheru Jackson created a real time platform for bloggers to publicize their blogs. Consequently, I also discovered that I was becoming familiar with other blogs in the blogosphere and started commenting on their blogs. One unexpected surprise is I have since maintained regular correspondence with other blogs such as To The Wire & Through The Eyes of Malice.

The other unexpected surprise is the soaring numbers I’ve been recently receiving from AlphaInventions. Just look for yourself!

Unsalted Brooklyn Roads Bring Buses To A Halt – Flatbush

FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN 7:00 PM: All up and down local Brooklyn roads this evening, you will find bus operators pulled aside due to hazardous snow conditions created by unsalted roads. One bus operator told me that the NYC Sanitation Department had not salted local routes and a unanimous decision by bus operators was to pull over until roads were made passable.

Rows of buses can be seen pulled over down Nostrand and Rogers Avenues. A local resident observing me taking pictures of the scene told me that he saw parked buses parked down New York Avenue for blocks. What’s up Mayor Bloomberg? Saving some dough by not salting our streets? Let’s hope there are no accidents caused by this lack of snow maintenance.

Another bus operator told me that they were trained to pull over in the event of encountering unsalted roads and other hazardous snow conditions. Apparently many of the operators called each other and made the decision to park it until they can pass safely. Good call.

Portuguese Man O’ War (Physalia physalis) also known as the blue bubble, blue bottle, man-of-war, or the Portuguese man of war, is commonly but erroneously thought of as a jellyfish In fact, it is not a single animal, but rather a siphonophore – a colony of four kinds of minute, highly modified individuals, which are specialized polyps and medusoids[1].- Wikipedia
