Web states are the greatest of mugs game. I have no idea really how many of you are there out there reading this stuff. I know there are almost 9,000 readers via Google Reader, about a tenth of that on Twitter and less via the direct stats counting apps like Google Analytics. I check in and look at the numbers but I don't know what to make of it all. But every once in a while I have noticed this rather short post getting traffic - one from 2006 about New York changing its beer buying laws. Then I had a proper look and I see that it ranks high on Google for various searches about whether and how you can buy beer in New York on Sunday. Then I checked the graph above, showing views of that page over many weeks. See the trend?

I hope I am actually of some service to the Sabbath Day thirsty in the Big Apple. But I doubt it.
