Durango Texas World Update: Swimming & TV

I got an email this morning from one of my two readers asking why I didn't go swimming yesterday, wrongly assuming that I had not, due to me neglecting to mention that I had.

So, yes, I did go swimming yesterday. It was cold. But not as cold as this morning. It barely got into the 50s all day yesterday and with the overnight temps being in the 40s it made for some chilly water at 7am.

But I somehow managed to stay out there for about 30 minutes. You can see by what's on the TV screen that it is yet one more sunny day here in North Texas. Sunny and warmer than yesterday, with it already being warmer than it got all day yesterday, as in it is 56 out there right now, heading to a high today of 75. So, tomorrow morning the pool should be warmer. But after tomorrow the prediction is for temps in the 30s.

Speaking of TV, my web stats have gone way up the past 5 days, with yesterday my total number of visitors being 4,675. Of those 3,477 were visitors to my TV Blog. Previously the most Blog visitors I've ever had in one day was around 1000. This morning the TV Blog is being even busier than yesterday, with 677 visitors so far, when I looked at the stats at 9am. So, today should end up being a bigger number than yesterday.

Go here and you can see the bizarre phenomenon of people all over the country coming to my TV Blog due to Googling after watching a TV Show. Aren't there more important things to be curious about?

Durango TV Has Exploded

A couple weeks ago it crossed my mind to make a TV Blog, because I thought it might be a good thing and might get a lot of hits.

Well. It's only been a couple weeks and I've not had a blog on fire before like this TV thing is.

The fire is caused by The Real Housewives of Atlanta show on Bravo. And the search for who "Big Papa" is, among other things. Right now I'm hearing the hit beep going off about every second.

Go to my Durango TV Blog and scroll down til you see the Live Feed Stats thing. Click view in Real Time and you'll see and hear the noise I'm hearing.

The Internet is such a strange, entertaining world. It's addictive. Like coffee. Which I've currently cut back on. I'm not cutting back on my Internet addiction. No matter what it does to my blood pressure.

Durango TV Blog

Sometimes I enjoy writing about something I've watched on TV. Usually I enjoy writing about it because in some way it has appalled or disgusted me. It's a good thing to vent.

But, except for the fact that I watched the TV show while in Texas it has nothing else to do with my life in Texas, which was what I thought the theme of my Durango Texas blog was going to be.

Sometimes I stifle myself from writing about something I've watched on TV due to it seeming somehow out of place. Well, dense boy that I am, the solution was obvious, but came to me slowly.

As in I've started a new blog, all about TV. Durango TV. I think I'm going to have fun with this one.

If you haven't heard Sarah Palin getting punked by a pair of Canucks from Montreal pretending to be French President Sarkozy, go to my new blog and listen to it. It is pretty funny. My favorite part is when Sarah gets asked if Joe the Plumber is her husband.
