This is the 1500th<\/sup> Tracking the Light posting since the blog began in July 2012.<\/p>\n

All 1,500 posts are in the archives and available for browsing.<\/p>\n

Once I posted the pieces to a puzzle and I was disappointed when my theme proved so opaque that no one figured it out!<\/p>\n

Today I try again.<\/p>\n

FYI: Tracking the Light\u2019s official posting time zone is Eastern Standard Time (New York, Boston, etc).<\/p>\n

To the first<\/u><\/em> reader that sends me a comment attached today\u2019s posting with the correct answer to my puzzle: I will<\/em> send you a free book. As Wally says, \u2018Free!\u2019<\/p>\n

I will accept a one word answer (if correct), but a little explanation as to why would be nice.<\/p>\n

Please note: the first<\/strong> correct answer must<\/u> be sent as a comment attached to this Tracking the Light post (not to the homepage or any place else); to clarify, any answer sent by Email, or left as Facebook comments, tweets, comments to Google Plus, Tumbler or sent by snail mail or phone cannot count for the free book. \u00a0No ties, no second place.\u00a0Sorry, but those are the rules.<\/p>\n
