I occasionally check SiteMeter to see the hits on my blog. OK. I check it a couple times each day.
But some of the information is fascinating. I have no idea who is reading my blog, but SiteMeter lets me know the city and country where a computer is located when someone hits on my page.
It is almost like being in a very crowded singles bar and getting anonymous notes. Good for the ego, but you are still going home alone.
On Saturday morning, I had my first hit from Sudan. Now, Sudan was in the news earlier in the week when the International Criminal Court indicted Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, for "crimes against humanity."
I thought it was an interesting coincidence. And then I noticed that whoever in Sudan ended up looking at my page got there through a photograph of real estate listings in Barra de Navidad.
That raises the interesting possibility that President Omar al-Bashir will soon be sharing shrimp salad with the rest of us at Seamasters.
I will be sitting at another table.
