I only rarely take time off from my local Fishers news blog.  But I did this the past few days to allow some time to visit family in South Dakota and spend time with my grandkids.  So, thank you, readers of this blog, for your patience.

Lots of news has been happening during my absence and I will start posting again soon.  But allow me this opportunity to show my appreciation to those reading this blog and listening to my podcasts.

When starting this blog in January of 2012, my goal was to gain a few hundred people reading my material.  Over the 13 years of writing, I measure my audience not in hundreds but in the tens of thousands of unique visitors to this site each year.  2024 is shaping up to be the biggest audience ever.

So, thanks for reading.  This is a volunteer activity for me.  You will see an advertising portal on my site, but I allow that as a favor to Tom Britt of Towne Post Network.  I receive no money specifically from those ads.

I have a lot of catching-up to do and will be writing over the next few days.  But, above all, thanks for reading.  You make all the volunteer work worth it to me.
