Amazingly enough, more than a hundred different countries apparently visit this site each day and in some days approach 200.  27 February 2010 saw the most visitors:  3,356 viewers with 3,912 flag counter views, whatever the difference might be.  This was THE CHILE EARTHQUAKE.  In fact, natural disasters tend to draw the most viewers:

That first blip on the left is the HAITI EARTHQUAKE.

However, over the six years of this blog, certain postings accumulated more views, as for example, here are the top 20 (and some make no sense to me):

There are very few energy and environment postings on that list above.  Thus, at the encouragement of some of my friends and readers, I have expanded the coverage to anything I want, especially, travel, food and entertainment.  People seem to like whale sharks.  Actually, my SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Humanity does get into most of these subjects, and I actually once had a whale shark project with Taiwan.  From day to day you don't expect what will be featured, mostly because I also don't until I turn on the computer.

Ana remains a tropical storm, but will attain hurricane status later today or tomorrow.  Then the expectation is for a slight weakening when close to Honolulu from Saturday into Sunday:

There seems to be a slight shift south, which will be a relief for the Big Island, but bad for Oahu and Kauai, for this diminish the potential of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa dampening the winds.

There is a stronger ocean storm, Hurricane Gonzalo at 145 MPH, in the Atlantic.  Bermuda could be in grave danger, but the next near landfall would be Newfoundland:
