Spring has “sprung” (in the SH), birds are tweeting, flowers are blooming.

Trees are blossoming, and the Sun is again making its presence felt, issuing UV, and more, to provide essential global warming (as distinct from leaving us a cold, dead, useless planet).
Ergo, my vitamin D level is being replenished, my depression is being lifted and my blog is attaining satisfying milestones. All is well with my world. more or less! (Well, sort of!).
So I am moved to be vociferous just for the sake of self-satisfaction and also to offer my gratitude to those who are contributing, via the internet, to the well-being of this blog and therefore also to mine.
The milestones mentioned include 20,000 ‘hits’, 100+ followers, 1000+ comments, 750+ published posts and almost 100 pages, in the period of 16 months. Maybe a miniscule effort in the whole picture but a meaningful accomplishment for this individual.
It is therefore appropriate to say a hearty THANK YOU to all who have made this outcome possible. A select few, (who will know who they are), have been especially helpful in several different ways but as mentioned, all responders to this blog are essential and much appreciated.
I am also moved to say, write a few words about the blog and my choosing of particular topics and themes. Because there are several main topics covered, or at least touched on, there would be readers who have maybe only one common topic of interest. To them, other topics might be of little or no interest, or even, in the extreme cases, objectionable.
This could occur, for the reason that I support a number of what are often termed as “conspiracy theories”. They are included because I judge them to be actual conspiracies and not theories. Of course, many readers follow this blog because they are like-minded and welcome or contribute to the publication of such topics.
To others, who tend to shy away or disbelieve these topics, I would like to explain myself in a brief(?) summation. Not in the expectation of sudden enlightenment, but to gain the respect hopefully due to the motivation and thought processes that drive my enthusiasm for righting what I perceive as being the wrongs in this, (what is partly, but should be extensively), our beautiful world. In other words, hopefully a reader who doesn’t go along with any particular topic or theme, won’t automatically conclude that all TGR blog material is suspect. Each post should rightfully be adjudged on its own merits.
