Today, the one millionth visitor came by to try and figure out what the heck we are talking about. He or she came from an IP address in Florida, and found us via MSNBC’s Tampa page, and landed on our article entitled ‘again, city issues double standard‘

The nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred ninety ninth visitor also was from Florida, and found us via an AOL search for “fishing spots in tampa bay” which led them to our article about TrevorOK’s fishing map.

Thanks a million to all million of you!

Thanks to all you who keep coming back here to read what we have to say, and thanks to all of the wonderful contributors who keep this site interesting.

Speaking of contributors, we’ve finally finished (sorta) updating the list of Sticks contributors and their biographies. There are a couple still missing, but I’m certain those will be completed soon.

Once again, we thank YOU for hanging out with us in the sticks.
