Some of this is rather easily explainable, and some not. The US, as always, is in the lead. That is where I've lived most of my life, and it is where my family is, and most of my friends, so no mystery there. I have only a few contacts in Germany, but those are very scholarly people and they seem to take great interest in my writings on such subjects as the Synoptic Problem. I know more people in France, and the two countries always seem to run neck-and-neck. Ireland is easy: I have 22 living cousins there. I know only a few people in Brazil, which was our neighbor country when we lived in Uruguay. The Netherlands has more naturists per capita, I think, than any other country, and that may explain the blog's popularity there. Russia I can't explain, since I don't speak the language and know almost no one there. The same goes for China. There are apparently some very loyal readers in the small Middle Eastern country, whose privacy I will respect. That, too, is a mystery, since I don't speak Arabic and I don't think I know anyone there. I do have some connections to India, and have written quite a bit on Hindu religious literature, so that one is relatively easy to understand.
Those are just the top ten countries. In the past month we've had visits from many other countries, including Canada, the UK, Australia, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Ukrainia, the Chec (spelling?) Republic, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Cameroon, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Moldavia, Peru, Argentina, Mexico, Estonia, and many others. The world loves poetry and good photography.
As usual, thank you all for your continued interest and enthusiasm. Wadó. ꮹꮩ.
