Well, That Was Scary

I don't know if it was there before, but this morning, there is a "Stats" tab next to the "Monetize" tab on the Posting page.  So I clicked on it (note to spammers:  That won't work for you.  I'm wise) and

and

I had 11 readers from Brazil last week.

Wow.

(It might have been the spike from the Shakesville link.)

As you know, I try to keep this blog thing political but quirky, and lately I've been kind of boring because the current drama in my life is that the Republican gubernatorial candidate has bought oodles of time on the radio station I listen to and the Democratic candidate is unleashing the campaign machinery next week, and screaming muttering "Liar!!" is just not relieving my feelings the way that used to.

So.  I guess I'll have to write that backburnered essay.  Also, I need to finish attaching buttons to that jacket.  And to call the alumni association and be adamant about not including me in the directory.
