I can understand that if it is a small community, school or business people might be interested in the local conditions and other goodies. But Des Moines is well over 350K with 3 Universities close by, suburbs, 4 local TV stations and the NOAA a mile out, no one would be interested with the exception of those doing research on microclimates,cocorahs.org, APRS, Globe.gov and others.
Yes, I do remember getting 40 hits and pages pirated in the past. Now all I have to do is yell at my phone , "Hey Siri! what the weather for today?" and I have it in a jiffy.
Retired? Well I pick up my granddaughter from school 3 days a week, and some times take her to work and home when her dad craps out. I go to the grocery store now and then, I make pDf's of student work for my college prof wife. I take the dog out for a deturding in the yard. Of Late I go to the doctors a lot. my tail bone area causes me extreme weakness after sitting and trying to walk, and my shoulder is acting up. So I go for shots and acupuncture. Then I happen to scour the weather forums for something to read and roll my eyes at, deciding whether or not to jump in and help or just let it go.
I won't be gone, I just won't be sending data to my site. I will, however be sending data to my Weatherlink 2.0. Unfortunately Centurylink has no vanity web pages like AOL and the local cable company used to have.
funny thing, since I announced I am ending on Jan 17, I have had more hits. Reminds me of the local store that had a huge going out of business sale. It was so good they restocked everything and continued their going out of business sale, until after a year, someone investigated and gave them 2 weeks to end it all.
