The Reunite Gondwanaland and Table Of Contents has the most page views with 430. Close behind in the new Poems By Others Section, Ogden Nash's poem Fossils with 428 [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2013/01/fossils-by-ogden-nash-poem.html] as the blog bears down on 37,000 page views.
Of my own posts, there is the first 300 page viewer from 2014, The Break Even Price of Fracking Oil [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2014/10/break-even-price-of-fracking-oil.html] with 300 page views.

[http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2015/12/trump-or-cruz.html] with 177 page views; closely followed by Working Underground: My Rational Self and My Emotional Self with 170 page views [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2013/01/working-underground-my-rational-self.html]. Two other posts from 2015 that topped 100 page views are:Who Buys Isis Oil with 140 [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2015/11/who-buys-isis-oil.html]; and 13 Things That Doen't Make Sense (Book Review) - Part I [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2015/06/13-things-that-dont-make-sense-book.html] with 101.
Each piece I have written is like a child and I love them all, but it is common that some children are loved more than others. My personal favorites are Effectiveness Of Taxes [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2010/05/effectiveness-of-taxes.html] with fewer than 100 page views and Basics of Bureaucracy [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2011/07/basics-of-bureaucracy.html] with 114. In the former, I point out why decreasing taxes on individuals is an inefficient way to stimulate the economy. I liked this so much that I refer to it in three other pieces. Alas the reading public did not agree as to its great value. In the latter that was written many years ago, I give some real rules of dealing with bureaucrats in a humorous fashion.
Let me give two Honorable Mentions. I wouldn't say this is a favorite
of mine, but it can be important to some, i.e. Preferred Stock Investing
with 131 hits
[http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2011/11/preferred-stock-investing.html].
I have invested for about 60 years, but never got involved in
preferred stocks until the last decade. I would also like to mention
one poem Upon the Second Anniversary Of Apollo 11, the first landing on
the Moon
[http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2010/01/upon-second-anniversary-of-apollo-11.html].
Normally a couplet or more just pops into my mind and I construct a
poem around it. The second anniversary of Apollo Eleven, however, was
little noticed which I thought was terrible so this was the first time I
sat down to compose a poem from scratch.
Also on poems, my favorite couplet that I have ever written is in So How About An Asteroid (Poem) [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2011/07/so-how-about-asteroid-poem.html], with 80 page views: Who could possibly be annoyed/ About the study of an asteroid. My favorite stanza is from On Age 82 (Poem) [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2013/09/on-age-82-poem.html] with 133:
I do not text
And do not tweet
I'm 82 years old
Feeling kind of beat.
