My readers are not concentrated in any place in particular. The bulk of them are in the United States.
I live in San Francisco but only a small percentage of my readers live within 100 miles of me.
I regularly forget how the rest of the United States lives. Particularly the East Coast where everyone leaves town in August and is truly on vacation from the middle of August until Labor Day. San Francisco is in the low 60 degrees fahrenheit during this time.
I am reminded of this because my readership of this blog drops in half after the middle of August and doesn't resume its normal level until after Labor Day.
The volume of New York stock exchanges seem to follow a similar pattern.
For two decades I was spending the months of July and August in Tokyo where I fully felt the wrath of August heat. My sympathies go to everyone who needs a vacation during this time of year.
I could do two more blogs on this subject but neither would be important.
One would be about the word ‘doldrums’ and its reference to the equatorial region where there is usually no wind. Sailors had to row their ships or tow them with rowboats.
The other would be about wind chimes which were invented in China to enhance the very slight breezes that come in the summer. Most Americans seem to think wind chimes are some religious icon and testament to wind energy.
