Who reads This?

I checked out my stats for viewers of this blog and I admit that since I stopped blogging about my travels the number of visits has declined. That is no surprise to me. I wish I had the energy to continue the travel blog and maybe one day I will resume it but for now all I am doing is babbling about pretty much nothing. My recent posts are not exactly earth shattering insights into the depths of human interest. Such is life.

My health has been better for about three months with way lower pain and better mobility. My brain has bounced back from the edge of emptiness to almost normal. Of course normal is not exactly exciting. The heat in Bakersfield is responsible for my improved health. However, the heat is now gone. Winter is quickly settling in. This morning there was frost everywhere and the hills around town were snow capped. My car windows were iced over. With the drop in temperature my pain is already climbing back up. My mobility is decreasing and my muscles are starting to spasm much more than they have been for the last few months. Soon I will likely be back in high levels of pain. I am not sure I can survive this return. We shall see.

When I checked my viewer stats I also noted that only about one out of six readers is from the United States and the rest are from all over the globe. Also the non Americans tended to read the entire blog but the Americans just glanced at it and moved on. Why is this? Don't Americans search for anything but porn on the internet? Most of the American visits used searches like "Costa Rica Prostitutes" or "girls at the beach" or something similar to those. The rest of the world searches for various place names or famous tourist spots and activities like "San Andres Island," "History of the Incas" or "Aztec ruins." It seems to me like the American viewers just don't care about the rest of the world but rather just in their own personal pleasure. That is a bad sign for the future of the United States. The downfall of many civilizations has been self indulgence with little regard or care for others. It sank the Romans and it will also sink the U.S.
