Blogger tells me that's how many page views they've counted for this blog. Almost a million!
I know, it's just a number. And it may not even be all that accurate. And some silly YouTube videos reach that number of views in a few days, whereas I've been blogging here for over 9 years.
Still, it's sort of exciting. Like a milestone on the highway that you stop to take a photo of, with you sitting on it, or parking your mascot on top, or gazing off into the distance, pretending not to have set the camera on auto-timer.
And then you get back in the car and go on; it's just a marker, and you're going somewhere more interesting.
Which I'm doing now. Can't stop here. Back in the car, and off we go! There's more to be seen ahead!
