Customer Appreciation Day

I have just noticed that my counter is very close to hitting the 4,000 mark. When I started this blog just a little more than 2 years ago I had no idea that so many people would have visited the garden. Sure, I realize that a good part of that 4,000 was me checking things out. And sometimes I forced Chick to read some of the postings. And, of course, there is no way to prove the site-counter is really accurate. But I guess I'm proud of what I have grown in this Garden. Much has changed blah blah blah blah blah blah

What a bunch of shit.

Look you mother fuckers I could put something in this Garden every day if I ever really knew anyone ever gave a crap. But all I get is a few random comments from people who aren't willing to leave their name. I put myself out here with every post - the least you can do is acknowledge your presence!

Wait - I'm sorry. I shouldn't scold my loyal following. It shouldn't matter that some people are willing to contribute to life while others merely wallow in pools of jelly. Oh - I've done it again. I have offended the very people I need for sustenance. Son-of-a-bitch, I need a class in tact.

So I feel that I need to make ammends with those of you that regulary visit the garden. My harsh language is certainly uncalled for. Those of you that have RSS feeds informing you of a posting or those who simply have the Garden listed in your Bookmarks - you are the reason for life. You are the agar of the petri dish. The rest of you are mold. You show up occassionally just to see whether or not I correctly typed the word 'occcassionnlly'. And the problem with all of you is that I still don't know how to spell 'occassionalyy!'

So here it is - be the 4000th person to visit the Garden and win a trip to, well, the Garden. It's that simple. If you check the site meter and you are 4,000 you get to collaborate with me, Otis, the author. And together we will plant a seed among the Dandelions.
