Linda at Richard and Raelyn's wedding
Sometime last night my blog’s “hit count” crashed through 20,000
all-time, thanks to 115 from Russia!
This is, of course, total baloney – most, if not all, of those
late-night Russian “hits” were recorded
by a computer algorithm searching for something like the recipe for nerve gas
or good stock market tips. A fat lot of
good it did them, those Cyrillic computer hacker! According to this morning’s newspaper,
Russian hackers have gained access to the innermost secrets of the White House,
including even our President’s golf handicap!
May they soon smoke themselves to death!
But, anyway, the hit recorder says 20,044 since I started
this blog in 2012. Of those, 12,817 are
from the U.S., which I tend to believe. Five hundred-odd are from Canada and the
U.K. The rest are from places like
Russia, Ukraine, Poland, South Korea and Cambodia. These I discount. I estimate that perhaps 14,000 actual human
beings have read a blog at one time or another – but this includes multiple
hits from faithful followers, of which there are at least six. Still, I think I have reached a lot of
people. I would pat myself on the back,
were I not so damned arthritic!
On a totally different not: who has my copy of the movie The
Big Year? I plan on doing one myself in
2016, and I need to study up.
I try to follow your blog, wish I could get an email notification somehow! Don't have your movie, of course. :)
