Still Puzzled

My analyst says that I’m unusual in my 100% reliance on the logical and the rational. For me, everything needs to have a logical explanation, or it just bugs me. The intuitive part of my psyche is so beaten down that it never makes an appearance. (The way to address is that is to do things with your hands, like cooking or gardening, and pursue some creative activity, by the way.) 

So it just drives me nuts when I see inexplicable things happening. For instance, there is the mystery of the Walter Scott post. For days, this has been the most popular of my posts, even though there are no backlinks to it and the post contains nothing. This is what I see every day on the stats page these days:

I’m beginning to think people like the post so much because it’s as short as a tweet. And that’s a disturbing thought.

  1. Perhaps the post was popular because of the comments? I know I sometimes revisit blog posts to read comments that I find especially interesting. Wish there were a better way to ‘bookmark’ them.

    1. Actually, that may well be the case. WordPress has been acting very weirdly. Many people with WP accounts complain that they can’t comment because the software doesn’t recognize them and keeps redirecting them to the Sign In page.
