Where's all the traffic coming from?

Yesterday saw a huge spike in first-time visitors to the Grouse, with no particular pattern: no obvious search term, no link in from another site. I'm befuddled. Whassup out there? Who are all you people from all over this big blue marble coming by my little blog? I'm vaguely reminded of the scene at the end of the 1975 classic Race With the Devil, where Peter Fonda, Loretta Swit and friends witness a ritual Satanic massacre (admittedly, a fairly run of the mill disembowelling). They hop in their RV and race off, thinking that they've gotten out safely. Only in the final scene, when the Winnebago is surrounded by everyone they've met since the massacre, all of them with a funny gleam in their eye, do they realize that the seemingly pleasant rustic types all in fact have Lucifer on the brain. Whoops.

Hopefully, I'm not seeing the cyber equivalent of that. Though it's similarly spooky. Maybe the blogger "next blog" button got stuck and my traffic monitor was broken at the same time.
