This is the "short list" of the top 100 posts for July. I say short list because I got tired of transposing it after 74. The program I use to track my posts does not let you copy and paste it in a user friendly manner. If it did I would post this entirely useless information more often!
Actually, I use a really simple version of Google Analytics which does not have the fancy "bells and whistles" which come with many other programs. Those actually give you the latitude and longitude of the person reading in real time. Yikes! I can't think of a better way to scare off a reader than by placing them under what amounts to electronic tracking. I actually stopped following 2 blogs which had that feature.
I can only tell what states (all 50) and foreign countries (58) are reading my posts. And I can also tell which are the most popular, which is really helpful in deciding what to post in the first place. Actually, to be honest, I just post what I like; this being what I call a "destination" blog. I do try to keep a mix of music, movies, a book a week, a story and a couple of other things each week.
But there is something cool at the end of this post; if you've evn gotten this far; it's the reverse side of the above list from WQAM Radio 560 AM in Florida for the 1st week of August 1969. It's the best illustration of a list I could find. Besides, it gives me a chance to dust it off and show it off. I've had it for 45 years.

Five years and almost 1900 posts later I am still finding stuff to put up here. What started out as a weekly book review quickly turned into a daily obsession with me. No big surprise there. The biggest surprise for me has been that people actually find it, read it, and some even come back for seconds. Thanks!
So, here's the "short list"; If there is anything there of interest to you just precede the words with rooftop review, put it in your browser and go. It would have been a Herculean task to post all the URL's! And, at about 125 pounds, I ain't him.
