YAY! I love the stats….but was surprised at the search words that brought you the most visits. You can be proud of your blog, for sure…always interesting, insightful, thought-provoking and fun! Like you!
You comment brings forth so many thoughts, Grammy. Like the best posts mostly only get comments by my more thoughtful friends, whereas the stat getters are more TRIVIAL! You’d be astonished at the faithfulness with which people Google “traffic fines in Qatar” or “new traffic fines in Kuwait”, LLOOLLL. And Mongolian Porn is always another faithful, LOL.
Another thought – I wish I were in a good book group, like the one in Doha, like the one in Kuwait. Something where we read international authors, and some of the books were tough reading because of the content . . .
