I don't give a lot of respect to the view counter over on the right hand side of this page. I presume that quite a bit of whatever it reports there is inflated by flybys from Russian scammers and robot spiders and all the other weird phenomena of the internet.
But still, when I noticed that recently the counter ticked over to two million views since 2010, I did think, "Not bad for the longest running unsubsidized Canadian history blog on the 'net." Also: 2010 is the date I installed the view counter -- the blog itself dates back to 2004. October 8, 2004 I see on checking back. A twentieth anniversary looms.
