Do you want to share any figures as to how many visitors you get every day?

Well, it varies. But here's the current views so far on my open carry posts:
Day two: 405 views
Day three: 290 views
Day one: 254 views
Day four: 213 views
Day five and six: 132 views
Day six and seven won't be up until tomorrow. My stats are every 24 hours, I am too lazy to configure on-the-fly awstats.

Stuff I do tends to have a very long tail, because it gets picked up other places. For instance, DJ and I only have about 100 subscribers to our podcast, Radio Free Nestlandia
http://www.nestlandia.com/
But all the episodes that have been out a few months have over a thousand downloads.

An early example of the stuff getting re-blogged, this UK site has blogged my blogging, (with a photo of me with a gun in front of a Subway in Wyoming)

The UK people, who cannot own guns, seem a little mind blown by open carry. (Probably think "that's what's wrong with America!" lol....)

I think that you have tapped a whole new demographic for the FSW, well done.
Artists, film folk, and rockers, are often, at heart, Liberty oriented.

Well, they also tend to be liberals! But I "get them", I was that way. Many artist are really into liberty, but vote democrat because they don't know better. I can convert them though, because I was like them. I can sit down to coffee with them, and speak "one man to another", as a peer, and explain why democrats are destroying America, and they'll get it, if they have it in them.

I know a lot of people. Probably literally more than 5000 people. And a lot of people "know me" who I haven't met yet.

But I'm pretty picky with who I'm telling "you should move here." I have one conservative friend who may move here for college, and she is a championship archer, and used to be an archery teacher. But I have warned her about the weather. She's only ever lived in Puerto Rico, Florida and SoCal. She might shiver to death here.

I'm really working on one friend, my friend Mark in New Jersey. He's from Oklahoma, owns "a few too many guns" and says "I bow to no government." (Then what the fark is he doing living in Newark?!) He's hard working and owns his own business (T-shirt printing company). He really should be here. He's a great artist too. He's a great painter, does psychedelic Western art. His heroes are John Wayne and the Sex Pistols. He should be here.

I feel odd talking about recruiting migration when I don't even live her yet. But my heart already lives here, I'm just not getting my mail here yet.

BUT! - - - DJ is ironing her clothes in the hotel room right now for a JOB INTERVIEW TODAY WITH A LAW FIRM in CASPER! Yay! So, maybe I'll be a resident pretty soon, if things go well.

Wish her goodness with the interview!

typo correct:

He owns "a few too many guns"

should be

He owns "a few dozen too many guns"

(and I know you cannot ever own too many. I'm quoting someone else on here who once said of themselves "I own a few dozen too many guns." Don't remember who it was, but I like it.

I hope to someday.
Here's me yesterday afternoon, dreaming and saying "excellent...."

So did you guys find a place to settle in Wyoming?

We've picked Casper, renting in town at least through first winter. Can move July 15th., will simply then be a matter of finding a place that will take two smokers with three cats.

Two smokers? Just wait until the FDA gets a hold of you! They'll have a national ban on renting apartments to people "like you". You'll have to pay for people in white sterile suits to come out and "decontaminate" your living quarters. You won't be able to smoke within 1,000 miles of any school!

Glad you guys had so much fun coming out here. Kinda like a trip thru Disney's Fantasy Land, huh?
