That Live Traffic Feed thingy over there in the other column -- not me, silly, further down --

...has gone berserk, or whatever the inanimate object equivalent of berserk is. Kablooey, maybe. For over a week now, almost every visitor to this blog has been shown as going to a single post of mine called “And now, for a complete change of pace, here’s...” which I put together back on September 13,2010. It contained a video that is six minutes, 55 seconds long in which a woman named Gladys Hardy in Austin, Texas, talks to comedian Ellen DeGeneres on the telephone. It also contained a photograph of Alfalfa, the child actor, and one of alfalfa, the plant, the reasons for which became clear only to those who actually watched the six-minute, 55-second-long video of the woman named Gladys Hardy in Austin, Texas, talking to comedian Ellen DeGeneres on the telephone. I was just trying to be helpful.

and not this:


I just thought you ought to know.
