Mystery (un)solved!

I am not sure if I ever mentioned here that Smoggie is a member of Mensa?! He is. He is the smartest person I know.

I am not sure if I should even mention it here, but obviously I can't stop myself!

Smoggie and I once "broke into" a network computer.

It was not as simple as I made that sound and I believe we hummed the James Bond theme music throughout that particular mission. There was absolutely no benefit in it for the both of us; we just did it for fun.

I think I shared with Smoggie about wanting to be a spy when I was a child and actually starting a club called "Secret Spies" with my brother and my friends. Smoggie's first reaction was that of total amusement. He didn't exactly think I could be a spy when I started most of my sentences with "To be honest..."! However, he decided to indulge me and took me on a mission where I got to feel like a real spy.

Smoggie remembers little details like that. He takes the time to do things to make me smile. Although I haven't seen him in years, he will always be my best friend. He is there for me whether I need him or not!

Here is a most recent example.

Precisely a day after my last post, there were 21 page views from Russia and a couple of days later, there were another 21 page views from Russia. Such precision cannot be a coincidence!

I must have a Russian reader or I must have a best friend who goes to great lengths to make me feel like I have readers from around the world!

I think I solved the mystery...I may still have a future as a spy.

Addendum:
Shortly after the above was posted, there were 21 page views from Russia! Need I say more?!

Another Addendum:

This is what Smoggie had to say, “I wouldn't fake data for your blog -- accurate information is too important.” So, it is not my best friend indulging me; it is someone messing with data collection.

Alas, my sleuthing days are over. I am closing the case of “The Russian Reader”. The End.
