Thanks to all of you readers, this has been the best month in the history of this blog. Wait, I should not put it that way. That has been the best month in the history of this blog that did not include being Freshly Pressed. That happened last year and created a stats page that looked like rat going through a snake.
This month has been consistently good with you guys showing up to read whatever stupid stuff I put on the screen. The most read post was something I write a long time ago called Let’s Go Peay! That was followed by:
You Never Know What You are Going to Learn at the First Presbyterian Church
The Legend of the Shadow Horse Gang
Hey, Nashville! Be a Real Music City and Build an Amphitheater
Things I Learned at a Cher Concert
Sandy Springs Park – My Personal Field of Dreams
Movie Wisdom – Burt Reynolds Edition
Many of year follow this blog and check in from time to time. However, others get here through a search engine. This month, the most popular search terms were:

May 1994 – Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa’s president.
May 1984 – The World’s Fair opened in New Orleans.
May 1974 – India successfully detonated its first nuclear weapon.
May 1964 – Congress declared that bourbon as a “distinctive product of the United States.”
May 1954 – Roger Bannister became the first person to run a mile in under four minutes.
May 1944 – The USS England sank six Japanese submarines in two weeks.
