7,915

No idea why, but my site meter recorded a wave of 7,915 visitors yesterday. As I've said before, this sort of wave happens maybe once or twice per month, and it's what pushes me over the 20K-visits mark, my "minimum of honor." None of those visitors ever stops to tell me what made him/her visit, so I remain in the dark as to why this blog unwontedly acquires an aura of animal magnetism for a while. Today is also looking to be bigger than usual: my stats already show nearly 500 visits (an average day for me is about 600-ish visits). While I don't expect another 8,000 for today, I can see there being 1,000-2,000 visits. Remember: about 50% of that is bot activity, so my real-human stats are about half of what I'm reporting.
