I am looking at the stats for my blog and who is coming to read and maybe comment on my blog. Interesting stats, about 18,000 readers a year from around the planet, in some cases I wonder how they got attracted to my blog and why they would come back and comment or read again and again. I also noticed that those countries who do not appear at all on my list of readers are countries where either they have highly controlled internet (police state) like Belarus, Iran or are countries where the internet does not exist because of poor infrastructure and lack of reliable electric supply, like the Congo or Afghanistan. What intrigues me is readers from the Holy See (Vatican) which has a population of 921 people and is the smallest European Country totally surrounded by the City of Rome, must be some Cardinal no doubt. Then there readers from tiny places in the world like the Seychelles Islands, a group of 115 islands forming one republic in the North West corner of the Indian Ocean.
The largest group of readers are from the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Spain, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Germany, France, India, Turkey, Brazil. I also have 225 followers of my blog.
I always find it interesting to see how many diverse followers I have to my blog. People like to read what goes on elsewhere in the world and try to imagine maybe how life is in parts of the world they have not visited. I am happy for their readership and who knows maybe they will want to visit or read more about Canada’s smallest Province Prince Edward Island and its small population of 150,000 persons.
For the readers, you all know that I write mostly about my home and life in general, maybe some observation about something that strikes me as odd or of our time.
Now to the last few days of 2017 and onwards then to 2018 with all of its many surprises.

Larry, here’s why I follow and read your blog: Although I’m not always interested in everything you post nor always have the time to read every article (as much as I try), a large amount of what you post and/or write about is quite interesting if not also highly informative. Yes indeed!
I travelled some of the world when I was in the U.S. Navy. However, since retirement from that beloved military branch almost two decades ago (and I would go back in the Navy if ever asked!), my financial ability to travel to parts of the world I once visited and loved and to places I haven’t yet set foot upon, have been greatly restricted. Thus, I’m left to learning about other world places of interest from watching selected television documentaries and certain media coverages, from watching and reading national and world news reports on TV and on the web, and of course from reading kool, well-written blogs like yours, g. I appreciate you taking the time to share your life, your experiences, and your knowledge. Keep up the good work! Cheers and all my best to you and yours in the coming year!

It’s when the numbers from Russia shoot up – as they intermittently do on mine – that you need to worry. Or rather wonder – nothing we can do about it, seemingly.

When I see those numbers shoot up I think maybe they want me to return as Tsar!
