Julie Sees Her Visitors

031509: So, the website and blog have been up and running for a little while now. The word is spreading and I am happy to have received many new requests for reservations as a direct result of the website and blogs. I am pleased that so many of you are watching the LakeCam and reading "The Daily Topaz." I have thoroughly enjoyed your comments and response.

And while you are watching Topaz Lake we have a chance to "watch" you. Beware! No, just kidding. But our site meter tells us all sorts of interesting factoids about our visitors. The one graph I like to check on is the location of our visitors. I'm pleasantly amused (the kind of amusement that tickles my funnybone...) that we have visitors across the United States regularly and a few from Canada. And recently one from Moscow, Russia! That particular visitor watched our LakeCam for quite sometime. It's fun to know that we are sharing our lovely piece of the world with the other side of the world.

Oh - in case you are wondering - our site meter can't see others' computers. It just gathers demographic info such as how visitors on the web find us, their locale, when they visit, etc., and it tallies all the demographics into fairly useless information (other than to tickle my funnybone.)
