- portable cellphones were the size of bricks
- both the Jets and the Giants actually played football in New York
- Tetris was the hot new video game
- no one was sure who was going to win: VHS or Betamax
- everyone on TV sitcoms slept in single beds
- 8 tracks began to replace LP's
- people actually wore their Sunday best to take a flight
- American Idol was called Star Search
- computers used punch card decks
- Ronald Reagan was President...of the Screen Actors Guild
Join me on a tour (for I call it a tour rather than a journey as I am just passing through this world) as I ponder the life around me and in me. Random thoughts, musings and ideas from a mind that does not know any better.

Traffic
It is interesting to see where the traffic on your blog comes from. I do not have all that much, so it is easy for me to monitor and the unusual ones stand out. I do not get much international traffic, which is not surprising given I do not get much domestic traffic either.
Yesterday was different. I had traffic from Hyderabad in India, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia,and Aachen in Germany. (I would have also said Dallas, Texas but since I moved here 5 years ago I no longer consider it an international location as I did when I lived in New York)
I wonder why? My blog is categorized as a Christian site, so I wonder what is making it occasionally come up like this in these out of the way places. Looked over the stats and there doesn't seem to be anything that is attracting them specifically.
Not worried or losing sleep over it, just curious I guess.
I do not think the State Department needs to lose sleep over it either.
