Blip on the screen
My sitemeter reports that I have blown by 35,000 page views sometime during the past week. A report comes in my email every Tuesday and that is about how often I check my stats. Otherwise I wouldn’t have even noticed.
There is an exception to that. When I get lucky on a common mispelling on a huge story and I start gettin one, two thousand hits a day for several days in a row, I become literally addicted to watching the bells ring and the lights light up.
