Breaking the views record on a Friday…

So, most of the records the past weeks as far as views to this blog have been in the earlier part of the week, but just yesterday, we surprisingly broke the record on a Friday (again, it could be just a great Thursday back in the West since Fridays here are Thursday evenings back in the states). Nevertheless, it was just interesting that we kept up the weekly climb to higher views. In terms of weekly views, we may not break last week’s views of a little over 1100 views though (1120 to be exact) since we’re sitting on 979 views this week as of now.  I realize we have another 33 hours to gain 141 views, but that’s a bit demanding given that we’re talking about the weekend which is usually the lull in visits to this site.

If this guy meets his promise though, I don’t care what the rivals think…the action should be enough. The other thing that stands out for me is that he did this AFTER the BBK scandal was cleared. If it was before, I would be more skeptical.
