And it's still "A Dubious Day" 
(en francais)

A really good cup of coffee just needs the right amount of time to percolate. With a nod to my Grandpa Lucien, long-time employee of Biltmore Hats in Guelph, I think the "A Dubious Day" post would bankrupt me for all the hats I owe.

First up - the EclectEcon
Economics and the mid-life crisis have much in common: Both dwell on foregone opportunities C'est la vie; c'est la guerre; c'est la pomme de terre (then posting as the Eclectic Econoclast).

His post on the Shotgun was the first wide circulation of "Dubious Day".

From that post, many others linked including Waking Up on Planet X, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Frost Hits the Rhubarb, and a whole host of discussion boards, whose links I've now lost.

Some people obviously took the time to email the link to a friend or two, as the last month has seen numerous referrals on the blog, to that post, from various email programs.

Next up, Johnny Pockets has started a Libscam Wiki - he has taken the 199 and is beginning to expand on each item. If you have some spare time, drop in and give him a hand in filling out the details.

Today (yesterday?) was pretty busy, between work and the campaign, so I didn't even glance at my sitemeter until early this morning. Boy was I suprised.

RiteTurnOnly picked up on things and re-posted the list. From there NealeNews gave some front page coverage and rounding up things - the hard to ignore Antonia Zerbisias was gracious enough to post a blurb.

If I've missed anyone, please post a link in the comments and I'll edit you into the list.

To one and all - straight from the storied history of Biltmore Hats - here's a gigantic HAT TIP.

For everyone else - link, print and pass it on!

The nice red button in the top right corner - the "Real Agenda" would make a fine addition to any blog or site. :)

Edit: Johnny Pockets and myself are both looking for a copy of the original 1993 "Red Book". If anyone knows of an electronic copy floating around - drop me a line.
