Barers Of Maple Valley Does Record Number Of Posts

While most blogs formed in the last 10 years of so post less frequently or have shut down, I once again have set a personal record for most posts in a year.  This is for the 5th year in a row.
A great year and the emergence of Maple Valley are probably the reason.  This is post 386 for 2018. Happy New Year!

Record Number Of Posts In 2016

For the 3rd straight year, I set a record for blog posts in Barers Of Maple Valley.  The blogs saw 383 posts, almost 40 more than last year.  Much of it was attribute to a trip to Israel as well as better mobile app devises.  Thank you for reading this blog in 2016!

It's Been 7 Years

On May 29th, 2005, Barers Of Maple Valley was launched. In honor of my 7th "Blogaversary, here is my very first blog post.

An introduction

Hello--when I told my wife that I was interested in having a blog, she said "what are you going to say in it?" My dog Rusty, in his own Rusty way said that in no way does he want me to make cute Dog stories, so I decided that maybe on this page we can cover topics that are timely and that would draw interest whether it is Entertainment, Politics, Sports (which in my opinion is to sacred to be considered entertainment) and whatever anyone is talking about.
I'm brand new to this so fasten your seatbelts and we will begin!

 

Back to the present. Thank you to everyone who has read and enjoyed this blog in the last 7 years.
