In the wee hours of this morning, I noticed that at approximately 10:32 p.m., Eastern Time, the 200,000^th visitor came through the door.  So, to the person from Hannah, Indiana who came here via Gut Rumbles, thank you.  Drop me an e-mail with your address, and I’ll be happy to send you an autographed picture of President Bush, provided you don’t mind if I sign his name.

It appears that others had already noticed that I hit the 200,000 mark, because the congratulatory e-mail began pouring in as early as last night.  Here is a sample:

Dear Jimbo,
