Semi-solid Food and who reads this blog

For the first time in a couple of days I have eaten semi-solid food, some mashed potatoes, dumplings and a little chicken chopped in. As light and easy as it was, it is still sitting in my stomach. I don't like the stomach flu. I did enjoy eating though.

So I am sitting here feeling full. I decided to look at the statistics for the blog. I have no explanation for them. Blogger tells me that the site has been viewed as follows:

United States - 2,505 views
South Korea - 195
Canada - 131
Ukraine - 44
Netherlands - 35
Switzerland - 31
Belgium - 31
France - 28
United Kingdom - 24
Japan - 20

The most read post was "Carl Jung, Gnostics and Jim Carey". The second most read post was on "Pastor Carol Daniels". I am glad that the Pastor Daniels post was read, I believe more needs to be done on the case. In August the blog received 1,069 views, that is a record for my little blog. Kinda neat, I didn't know I could look at the stats.

Recently we have had views from Germany, Australia and Israel. I would love to know who in Israel read it and if it had anything to do with my postings on the retirement funds. LOL. How did you people find me?

I should point out that the stats only go back to June of this year. I also want to point out that the blog only has six listed followers. That means there are many more lurkers out there than we knew. Now even if we assume that since I had started this blog we have had a total of twice as many hits, that is still 5,000 views since it began. By no means is this a "popular" blog, many blogs have millions of hits, still I am fascinated that someone in the Ukraine or Japan would read it at all.

What caused people to read the post on Jung and Jim Carey? I don't have many readers, not attempting to, I just write about things that I see in the news and think about. I do try to mix it up and sometimes I get in a rut. I will keep trying.

For those who do read it, thanks.

Fish out of water story

I have written before about strange animal attacks, here are two new ones for you.

Woman attacked in boat by a fish.

Man killed by goat.

I want to remind people that early this year, for the first time in history, a grown adult was killed by a coyote and people were killed by cows (stomped to death) in three separate incidents in England.

Oh, by the way, according to Wikipedia, this is the only reported death of a human by a mountain goat.
