Where do all these visits to the poetry/photography blog come from?
As I write this, we have had 71,766 visits to this blog. I can show you where they came from this past week, but I can't explain it.
So there you have it, at least for the past week. I can't explain it. Russia is high, the US is low (maybe we have other things on our minds these days).
If you celebrate it, happy Thanksgiving.
