The Top: 40 Hits

Despite the fact that the title of this post looks as though it might have a misplaced colon (which sounds like quite a painful medical condition, if I do say so myself), I'm going for the double meaning: For the first time since I started using Site Meter, I've averaged forty hits per day this past week:

With the exception of the poltical-correctness screed from the other day, this hasn't even been a week of my meatiest stuff. But hey, no complaints. Thank you for visiting, whether or not we've met (online or for real). I do appreciate you taking the time out of your day, and I hope that, even on a blog that promised from day one to be "all over the map." you'll find something that keeps you coming back regularly. We know that you have a choice when reading blogs, and we appreciate you choosing the Musings of Kev.

Oh, and I bet it would've been funny if I'd had a Site Meter since the very beginning, registering those three- or four-hit averages a week. Ya gotta start somewhere, I suppose...

Time to build an ark, maybe? This one's aimed at my fellow Metroplex residents: Did anyone float away today? The sudden storm that came through the northeast part of town today was pretty brutal, knocking out the power in the hallways of the college for a while and drenching those of us unfortunate enough to have to walk in it (my shoes were still wet three hours later).

They say the same thing might happen again tomorrow, but this time I'll be prepared...and no way will I leave my car window cracked, no matter how sunny it is at the time.

Showing your true colo(u)rs: Got a minute or two? Try this really cool color perception test from England. (Hat tip: The Volokh Conspiracy)

This guy's sleeping on the couch tonight: A Macedonian man drove off from an Italian gas station without his wife and didn't realize it until six hours later.

Didn't float away, but downtown Dallas was pounded by rain yesterday afternoon. 75 was super-slow-going up until Northwest Highway and then it tapered off. No poweroutages at home and thankfully, no motherboards shorting out :-)

Wow the color thing is very cool. I like it. If I put a site meter on my blog I would feel angry and yell at all the people who don't post a comment because they don't know me. This is the internet after all, I could be a sex-crazed 40 year-old-woman for anyone knows!

Meh...I like the intrigue of having readers I've never met. Sure, I wish I had as many comments as I had hits on each post, but some people just take a while to come out of their proverbial shells, I suppose, or they just agree with what everyone else has said.

"This is the internet after all, I could be a sex-crazed 40 year-old-woman for anyone knows!"

Haha...yeah, save for the fact that your profile picture is right next to your comment on the "post a comment" page, and you don't look like too many 40-year-old women I know (and that's a good thing). ;-)
