The site stats are down quite a bit considering the time of year it is.
Normally, November through March are very busy. The reason it's slow?
Our best guess is no inclement weather, no disastrous flooding and the list
goes on.
It appears that summer and winter are normally the busy months for IndexWa.org
OR when there is bad news to report.
The sad thing is that our advertisers suffer a bit when the site is slow.
Now by SLOW, we don't mean a 50% drop. We have experienced close to a
20%-30% drop.
Things will pick up soon and once again the webmaster will be pulling hairs from
his head (the few he has left). I'm targeting the gray hairs though.

INTEGRITY
It is not what we eat, but what we digest
that makes us strong; Not what we gain,
but what we save that makes us rich; Not
what we read, but what we remember that
makes us learned; And not what we profess, but what we practice that gives us
Integrity.
