Odd. And ¡Bienvenido!

Before I went to lunch, I noticed a sudden spike in visitors, and so I went over to the referrer logs and found that starting around 10:45 local time, Possumblog began being bombarded by visitors from Mexico, and then from other places in South and Central America. Probably had close to 40 in just over an hour, and they'll still coming by in dribs and drabs.

And I have no idea why. Even more odd is that they were all coming over from the old blogspot blog. Even more strange is that they were only staying for less than a minute.

Is there some Mexican version of Glenn Reynolds out there who linked to something over on the old site to account for this Mexilanche? Did I say something that's making people mad? Happy? Was it that picture of Catherine Zeta Jones I linked to?

Well, I just don't know.

SO, first, let me say hey to all y'all, and second, would someone PLEASE hold on for just a minute or two and let me know what's so interesting? I might want to recycle it here on mu.nu for those slow days.

How you do that upside-down exclamation point?

I used the 'Insert-Symbol' function of Word, then just cut and pasted it into the title.

That is SO cheating¡ You're supposed to look up the HTML code to insert that symbol. The Hispanic peoples probably heard that Sugah was around, and came to see if there were any new pictures. Next time you see her, tell her I sure do miss her.

It's not cheating if you don't get cau...well, it's not cheating if you don't know any other way to do it.

And I missed her, too, which is why I forced her to go to lunch with me.

Wonder if they heard you had lunch plans, and thought a burrito might be nice? And that you might invite them to the Sugary hugfest.

It is a mystery, and apparently one that will remain so, seeing as how none of my Latin visitors are saying anything.
