At the end of each year, I like to look back and see what the most viewed posts were on my two main blogs. As you can see, some of them date back many years.
It is not clear why some posts spring back to life. It may be that another website or a media outlet has referred to it. For some, like Len Fairchuk or the Budweiser clydesdales, they have a constant interest and end up in or near my top ten every year.
Here's a look back at what people were reading in 2021!
