Really. Can anyone help me solve a mystery? It may be a simple “computer thing,” but I’ve never run across it before.

As you know, if you’ve read any of my posts on Facebook, I have a blog, which I share daily on FB. It’s administered by wordpress.com, and it’s been working very well. When I post a blog “chapter,” as I call them, I get feedback as to the number of views and viewers, as well as the country in which they are (ostensibly) located. (I say “ostensibly” because I understand it is possible to hide your location, for whatever reason — but that’s a whole other can of worms.)

Today, however, with the usual majority of viewers being in the U.S., and one in a Scandinavian country, there was one additional one, from [cue mysterious music]:

UNKNOWN REGION

So, can anyone tell me: What the hell is an “Unknown Region”??!!! Is it one of those places, for example, in the Amazon where some tribes have never seen an outsider? Not likely, as they don’t have internet. They don’t even have plumbing.

Is it a whole other planet? Is Elon Musk reading my blog from Mars? Would you put it past him?

Is it one of the disputed territories in Ukraine that the Russians claim as their own, despite the fact that the whole world knows it’s not true? Nah — those places are on the map.

Is it some very savvy hacker who doesn’t want anyone to know he’s out there, and knows how to cover his tracks? These days, that’s a distinct possibility.

Or — scary, paranoid thought — is somebody (other than Elon Musk) stalking me?

Okay, that last one was a joke. I think.

But seriously, does anyone know what “Unknown Region” means?

Just askin’ . . .
