numbers, nu;mbers, numbers

I write 'Under the Castor Oil Tree' because I love to.

I shouldn't worry about statistics and who's reading.

But when I turn it on to post I get the numbers of readers.

In August in 31 days, there were 5255 views--an average of 168 a day.

In the first 24 days of September there have been only 1019 views--an average of 40 a day.

How can there be such a difference?

I don't know.

But I ponder it.

I shouldn't.

But I do.
