This Blog Celebrates Its 150,000th Documented Visit Later Today


Sometime later today, this blog will host its 150,000th visitor.

It's the blog that keeps the people informed about St. Augustine and St. Johns County environmental, pollution and corruption issues.

It's the blog that brought you the news about the City's illegal solid waste and sewage dumping.

It's the blog that erstwhile City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS loved to hate.

It's the blog that helped inform the people, who helped escort HARRISS out the door in 2010.

It's the blog that broke the story of the transcript of the FBU;s THOMAS G. MANUEL tapes that showed how SHERIFF DAVID SHOAR and lawyer GEORGE McCLURE high-fived each other over MANUEL's arrest, while waxing nostalgic about the days when County Commissioners didn't pay attention to any uppity citizens (just developers).

It's the blog you might call "The Little Engine That Could," after the children's story that teaches optimism ("I think I can" is my mantra).

It's been around since Earth Day 2006, with 4527 posts in the intervening four years and eight months of service to our community, state and Nation.

As Ronald Reagan said, "you ain't seen nothin' yet."
