Idylls of the Dog

I'm not sure what google-analytics.com does, exactly, other than slow down all things Google. I'm sure it performs useful functions - maybe logging something for the feds, but it seems to be the link in everything Blogger that hangs the process up the most, and makes it much easier to head somewhere other than Google for searches. Maybe they'll get it fixed one of these days and it'll disappear back into the background where it belongs.

In the meantime, eat your hearts out.
