It takes ten hits to get a dot that big

Do you ever feel like you are being watched? I do, especially when I’m trying not to be seen: like when I’m dumpster diving or peeing behind a bush at work. The truth is everything we do is monitored. Between your cell phone, cameras at intersections, and monitored emails the government knows exactly where you are. (Actually I have no idea if they know where you are, it just made a good intro)

If you noticed there is a little map on the side bar of my blog. When you look at my blog a program records the general location of where your request came from. A good look at the map and you know where my loved ones live. The bigger the dot, the more hits from that area. The splattering of small dots are either people who stumbled across my blog once or who have looked at it less than ten times since June 12th (the day the program started monitoring).

The dot with the green arrow confuses me. It takes ten hits to get a dot that big. I don’t remember having any friends in south western Canada. Ten hits in a month is a lot: more than I get from India. So I am interested to know the names behind the dots. So if you read my blog, leave a comment with your name and the city you view from. (Especially my Canadian friend).

A large dot in the midwest is watching you!

Does Evan H. live in South Western Canada? Or maybe it's Archie L. and his family???? Just suggestions. Later---RAY

I think they would be in Eastern Canada

Two More Weeks, after that the spots from India will fade away.
Since I lost my password and have thus been signing in anonymously, it is quite possible that that Western NY spot is being anonymously transposed onto Western NW territories, but it seems unlikely.
See you soon, Lord Willing.

Hey Zach, I'm a (almost) Canadian friend, but wrong area. In response to "ray" I'm currently situated smack dab between Evan and "Arthur" Lyndaker's (Mr. Lyndaker has requested not to be referred to as "Archie" anymore) And Zach, you are semi correct... just a little east of central Canada, Northwestern Ontario... just north of Minnesota. Anyways... I check in on your blog everyonce in awhile. Great stuff, usually gives me a laugh...thanks!

Judging by how long it is taking over 100 NY State troopers to locate one fugitive in Cattaraugus County, I'm fairly confident the government is not really capable of watching us as closely as they would like us to believe. So let's all be people of integrity, doing the right thing even though no one is watching.
And how come you spend your time peeking behind bushes when you should be working? Looking for rattlesnakes or something?
