The good folks at Google provide a few statistics on the traffic that the blog experiences. One of the neat tricks is that it can show the region that viewers come from (it is extremely broad, but vaguely interesting).
So I can see that the majority of viewers are from New Zealand, but the second most are from the USA.
I took the opportunity to check out the viewers from the US to see if they came from Washington State, As I thought they might with Orchard-Rite having their headquarters there.
But no.
The majority were from California. So I checked out California and low and behold Napa Valley was the area with the most viewers!
I am reliably informed that the area is a fantastic area for wine in the States and that they produce superb wines. So hello to all.
I also presume that they encounter noise from frost fans which a quick check of Google confirms;
"thought that
"Any signs of frost and the wind machines may have to be turned on"
"slowly drift off to sleep to the rhythmic, predictable whir of frost fans in the vineyard" (I can only presume a few night caps help this guy)
"The infernal noise"
"I awoke to the sound of wind machines"
"The fans create a constant noise and drown out the Harley motorcycles"
"I'm about 1.2 miles from the nearest one, and those wind machines have been waking me up in the morning for the last couple weeks"
"vineyard fans rotating at night causing sounds like living near an airport"
"the nearby vineyard wind machines and the deafening noise of their engines"
Hmm... (or should that be Humm...)
