My Where's George Week in Review: 06/03/12 - 06/09/12

Hover over this explanation for more detailsThe nerd that I am, I chose to post once a week a summary of my previous week's Where's George activity in comparision to my goals for the year.

In order to make the charts fit, I had to abreviate the column headers. Each header is now hoverable for an explanation.

In the past week, I received 29 hits in 6 States [AZ, CA²⁴, HI, MS, NV, OR]. I still have hits in 34 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 426 counties with 1 new this week: Tippah MS. So after waiting so long to get a hit in Mississippi, my second hit in the State came pretty quickly.

Of those 29 hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 2 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (26) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 1 Year 244 Days 21 Hours 24 Minutes after I originally entered it. I think that must be the shortest time active for a week's best this year.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
03	04	05	06	07	08	09
7	1	4	6	5	4	2

7 days added to the current hit streak brings it up to 18 days (my 13th best all time). We'll see how long this one can continue.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was a light week for bill entries, but after the past few big weeks, it's OK. I expect that June isn't going to rank high in bills entered this year.

Based on the goal of 5000 bill entries, here's how I'm doing towards my bill entry goals. Starting off with my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 86.29% so the goal is 87.29%), my percentage is now 86.95% [+0.66%]. I gained a couple bills on this goal and maintain my slight lead:

$1s Entered	14427	16810	16857	47	2430	18959	45.3	16845	+2	+12

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, I moved even further ahead, and there are less than 900 bills separating the two:

And for my goal of decreasing San Francisco "L" FRB entries below 50.0% while increasing Boston "A", Cleveland "D", St Louis "H", Philadelphia "C", Minneapolis "I", and Kansas City "J", Minneapolis has now joined the others in being ahead of pace for the year:

It was a good week for hits, but the week felt a bit off. I think that was because of the decreased entries and the large amount of hits received in the past few weeks. Perhaps things are [sadly] returning to "normal".
