Shameless self-congratulation

Akaky celebrates a milestone, aided and abetted by the lovely Roberta Vasquez:

"…from the day I first mentioned her, my site meter tells me, Roberta Vasquez has always been among the top five reasons why people come to "The Passing Parade," and I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for her help in getting this blog to its 30,000th visitor."

Just goes to show that you can fool Google and its brethren search engines from time to time.
