Raining and windy here, probably will be all day.
Last night, about seven-fifteen, the power went out, stayed off for forty minutes or so -- right in the middle of fixing dinner. Fortunately, we have a gas stove over the electric oven, so I ate pan-cooked instead of broiled burgers by the light of the Coleman lantern. Didn't figure out what caused it, but there were fire engines and police cars blocking sections of a couple major local streets, and the juice was out for blocks in all directions.

Noticed that when I added the content warning to my blog, the number of hits has dropped about thirty percent. I wonder if that's because people are worried it's a porno site and they don't want a record of it on their computers. Probably something like that. My regular visitors don't seem to mind having to click a second time.
StatCounter does a world map that shows you the location of the last hundred folks to visit your site. Tickles me to see people from other continents checking in.

There are 195 countries in the world, if you count Taiwan, and I haven't tracked the hits that closely, but I've gotten some from places of which I've never heard ...

Well, you know when you get a hit form Angola (Africa) it's me. Probably the only time you get multiple hits from there. And I see South Africa in there too... I can guess where that comes from.

ReplyDeleteAnd you should. :) I live there and I'm a big fan. Keep up the good work.
