Tongue Out-of-Cheek
Did you know the Okapi is the only mammal capable of cleaning its ears and eyelids with its tongue? Their tongue can be up to a foot long.

I Rattle and Roll Them, Too
| You Are a Rule Shaker |
 You generally follow the rules, but every now and then you like to shake things up a bit. You are both a rule maker and a rule breaker. You appreciate rules, but you also think they should be questioned. You think rules generally promote social order, and you're in favor of them - in principle. You also know, though, that rules can become outdated or irrelevant. You are willing to break a rule if you think there is cause to. You maintain flexibility with the rules you set up for yourself and others in your life. You aren't too strict about anything. In your opinion, there is always a middle ground. It's often best just to use your judgment instead of following a particular rule. |
Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
I saw an article about origami the other day and it reminded me of an old friend from MSN Groups, Brad (in Kentucky). I've been thinking of him a lot here lately and remembered he once said Joni Mitchell was his favorite musical artist. So, here's thinking of you, Binky. R.I.P.

I have some primaveral longings for springtime, mostly so my heating bill will go down.
What Took You So Little?
I was checking out the StatCounter statistics; since this blog isn't monetized, it really doesn't matter about the number of visitors, but I have the counter mostly to satisfy my own curiosity as to just who - and to a lesser extent, how many - people visit. It's also interesting to see where they come from and what they're searching for. I also like to see what browser and operating system they're using. It doesn't keep a running total like the StatCounter does, but my Feedjit counter does a good job in "real time" letting me know who is visiting, what they were looking for and what country they're from.
I've only had the counter for a couple of months and learned something after going by the Google Analytics page statistics; I used to think this blog had about a hundred visitors every day, but that was "page loads" and not unique visitors. That figure is usually from 30-40. Oh well. (the counter doesn't give detailed stats on the https traffic; for that, I'd have to pay for it and I certainly don't want to do that!)
One statistic I hadn't checked before was the length of stay and I was a little dismayed to see how little time most people spent here. Here's a screen capture of that particular stat:
As you can see, nearly 80% spend less than five seconds after they get here. One thing I'll give 'em...they recognize a worthless blog when they see one.
The 9 that stayed longer than an hour must have fallen asleep at their computer.
