Question
If someone shows up on the traffic feed as "United States". why is this? Is it because they somehow blocked their location? Or is there another reason?
Several of those were me, checking the blog from the bus. Sometimes it came up as Maryland, and sometimes as United States. I don't know what makes it pick one or the other.
Floored me too, AND that of all places, bus internet was happening in SW Virignia! Though, it is a special bus. It ferries people from Roanoke to Blacksburg (about 43 miles) for $3 a ride. I buy the monthly passes for $75 through Tech, so it is substantially cheaper than driving. The cost is, of course, in the time. I can DRIVE the distance in ~45 minutes, but it takes over an hour on the bus. I still come out ahead though.
ANOTHER perk on the bus are free daily newspapers!

It'll often do that if someone is on a wireless connect, like a public WIFI
