My Where's George Week in Review: 07/29/12 - 08/04/12

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 27 hits in 11 States [CA¹⁶, HI, IA, MT, NM, NY, OR², SC, TX, WA, WI]. I still have hits in 41 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 445 counties with 5 new this week: Black Hawk IA, Lewis and Clark MT, Colfax NM, Steuben NY, Ozaukee WI.

Of those 27 hits, 5 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (22) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 347 Days 3 Hours 26 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
29	30	31	01	02	03	04
2	5	2	7	2	5	4

And the hit streak marches on! Another 7 days added to it brings my current hit streak to 42 days.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, I'm still well ahead for all categories and continue to add to my lead:

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 87.08% [+0.79%]. I'm a touch behind where I need to be, but considering that I'm likely to enter well more than 5000 bills this year, I'm probably in good shape:

Dynamic GoalProgress towards the goal based on my actual rate of entering bills per day which would result in 6347 entries this year rather than 5000						20135	111.5	17811	-1	+25

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, with just 215 bills separating the two, 2009 should catch 2003A this month:

2009	1339	3493	3575	82	2236		Actual	78	2049

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", all are currently at or beyond the percentage needed and continue to increase their lead:

Kansas City "J"	290	1.73%	474	2.33%	483	2.36%	> 1.7%	1.75%	358	+125

While not a great week for hits, the hits were spread across 11 States which has to be near the max for a week and makes this week seem more successful. Here's hoping that the spread continues next week but comes along with more hits.
