[http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2013/01/working-underground-my-rational-self.html], and The Break Even Price Of Fracking [ http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2014/10/break-even-price-of-fracking-oil.html.] with 300 (The only post of mine to break 300).
There are at more than ten others with 100 to 199 hits, none of which are biographical and only one from 2015: The leader among these is Trump Or Cruz [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2015/12/trump-or-cruz.html] with 177 page views, and followed closely by Working Underground [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2013/01/working-underground-my-rational-self.html] with 170. But there are twoe more posts from 2015 topping 100: Who Buys Isis Oil with 104 [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2015/11/who-buys-isis-oil.html]; and 13 Things That Don't Make Sense (Book Review) - Part I with 100 [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2015/06/13-things-that-dont-make-sense-book.html].

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 favorite continues to be the Effectiveness Of Taxes from May 7, 2010 with 62 hits [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2010/05/effectiveness-of-taxes.html] followed by Basics of Bureaucracy from July 26, 2011 with 127 hits [http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2011/07/basics-of-bureaucracy.html]. 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 three Honorable Mentions. I wouldn't say this is a favorite of mine, but it can be important to some, i.e. Preferred Stock Investing from November 27, 2011 with 185 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 from January 9, 2010 with only 11 hits, 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 (An example is So How About An Asteroid from July 20, 2011 with 72 hits) that contains my favorite couplet that I have written: Who could possibly be annoyed/About the study of an asteroid. The Second Anniversary of Apollo Eleven, however, was little noticed which I thought was terrible as this was the first time I sat down to compose a poem from scratch.
