These "hits" aren't a measure of humans visiting pages; that count would be much lower. It's just requests to the website: every time a robot visits some page, the count goes up.

But hits are easy to measure so… ## [(untitled)](https://lahosken.san-francisco.ca.us/new/2026/08/11/miniplague-flux/) _2026-08-11 · lahosken · Larry Hosken: New_ I continue to check my little dashboard of # SanFrancisco COVID numbers each morning to decide whether to go inside the local good-but-not-amazing sandwich shop.

I dunno if it's worth seeking out, but if you do want to seek it out, then my location description "Kezar Stadium" wasn't so helpful—Kezar is a stadium-sized stadium, and is 99.9+% not this wire-frame garden ornament thingy.
