This doesn't look like the google spider bots? So, who would this be? Mr. Google himself?!?

Why do you think it doesn't look like Googlebot? A reverse lookup on the IP returns:

crawl-66-249-66-99.googlebot.com

Fresh Look is right. If not a bot (and crawl tells me it is) my second guess would be a refer from GOOGLE. In either case, your in good company! :)

I don't think Mr. Google himself has the time to look at all the websites personally. He should be in Switzerland skiing right now.

Actually its an Google AdSense bot. The bot searches for keywords in return for the ads content. If you watch it through online users as you browse you will notice it follows you.

Point taken.

Skiing in switzerland??? They remind more of a NASA Space Camp.
