The World Over

My blog statistician informs me that I have had “readers,” or perhaps more precisely, “page viewers,” from about 20 different countries, 5 continents out of 7. The notion that someone in/from Iran, Belarus, South Korea, India, Slovenia, Australia, Portugal, Brazil, Finland, Russia, France, and Singapore has a more than accidental interest in this project rather fascinates me. Why? Heavens! The idea, the English language, my prose—must all be very obscure. I have theories and suspicions about visitors from Germany, the UK, Canada, Poland, and Sweden—you may be loved ones. But for you, the rest of the world, what brings you to this page? Hijacked by some perverse .bot? I’m going to open up the comment function for any responses. Even just to learn your name. At any rate, welcome, and peace.
