It took two months to get our first 1,000 page views; five months to get our first 5,000 page views; it took only about 22 days to get the latest 5,000.  Our average number of page views for every day of the blog's existence (which includes the opening weeks when nobody but us and handful of friends were reading it) is now almost 100.  Thanks to all our correspondents, advertisers, and YOU for making this Altadena's community newsblog!
