Who’s hitting these things?

—“Who, pray tell, is hitting these things?” I’d ask. “When I haven’t even Facebooked ‘em yet.”
The way I do these blogs is: —1) I write ‘em into Apple’s “Pages” word-processor as voice-recognition, since my keyboarding is so sloppy.
Then —2) I publish ‘em into “BlogSpot BobbaLew,” so I can proof ‘em on my iPhone. I could “preview” ‘em on “BlogSpot BobbaLew,” but I haven’t yet seen a way of “previewing” on my iPhone.
—3) After proofing, as finished, I “Facebook” ‘em, which means my blog is okay enough for Facebook “friends” to read. I usually Facebook ‘em the day they’re published.
—4) The next day I e-mail “BlogSpot BobbaLew” links to others not Facebook “friends.” (My vaunted “Ne’er-do-Wells.”)
That way I get to see if there are any Facebook hits. First there was one, then there were two, now I get four or five.
But the other day I published a blog and got four “BlogSpot BobbaLew” hits before I even “Facebooked” it. So someone or something was hitting it directly from “BlogSpot.”
Four hits, but I can only think of two possibilities.
—One would be my lifeguard friend at Canandaigua’s YMCA swimming-pool.
She’s probably computer-savvy enough to be able to Google “BlogSpot BobbaLew.” She’s probably more computer-savvy than me — I used to think my wife was more intelligent than I am.
I know I’m fairly smart, but I think my wife was smarter.
—The other possibility is the reader my friend in Californy uses to access my blogs. She was the one who started me blogging in the first place.
Perhaps her reader is grabbing my blog direct from “BlogSpot.”
Direct from “BlogSpot” might not be my finished blog = not “proofed” yet. (I’m trying to not publish until the blog has been proofed.)
Two hits outta four, and I have no idea who they are.
—If one is my lifeguard friend, why she’d wanna read anything I wrote is beyond comprehension. Mostly what I write about, at least recently, is my incredible and mind-blowing successes with women. Celebration of the end of my sordid childhood, whereby “NO FEMALE WILL HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU!”
—My friend in Californy apparently likes reading my blogs: that I still write pretty much the same way I did years ago = my jaundiced eye. My twisted view and reportage of madness around me.
But those four pre-Facebook hits may not be getting the finished product.

• “Marcy” is my friend in Californy. Years ago she wondered where I got so much madness to report.
