The jury is still out but only a City Slicker would hold the record for the most articles posted on FReeRepublic at 49, 687..

It’s 20,965 btw.. 25,000 by 2020 or until the FR hamsters get retired..
Mother nature is full of neat vapour effects.
Not Norm! Say it ain't so!

There is one more to add.
If it’s gone... it’s windy
That wasn’t a cloud, it was a ballistic missile launched from a North Korean submarine
