My Where's George Week in Review: 05/26/13 - 06/01/13

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 hoverable for an explanation.

In the past week, I got 32 hits in 9 States [AZ², CA²¹, FL, NJ, NV², OR, TX, WA², WV]. Of those hits, 5 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (27) were the initial hit on the bill. Below is a calendar view of the hits throughout the week:

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
26	27	28	29	30	31	01
4	2	7	3	10	2	4

I came into the week with a 14 day hit streak. I got a hit on every day of this week which extended the streak to 21 days.

Of the 9 States in which I received hits this past week, 1 was the first hit for that State in 2013: West Virginia. Overall I've received hits in 36 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

Previous New Still Needed for Goal Beyond Goal

The hit in West Virginia was my first hit ever in that State! With this hit, I now have a hit in every State.

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 2 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 527. The newly hit counties were Indian River FL and Kanawha WV. I set a goal of 98 new counties hit in 2013, and here's a look at my progress towards that goal:

483       581

Previous New Still Needed for Goal

Of the bills hit in the past week, the longest active bill from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 248 Days 5 Hours 3 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 24^th on my all-time longest active list.

I made predictions regarding bill entries and hits and new bills with hits for 2013. Here's a look at how I'm doing towards those predictions:

Total Hits	4330	4955	4987	32	657	6030	32.6	5038	-1	-51

At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 8083 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 86.6 bills per week for the rest of the year. I don't expect to enter 8000 bills this year, but it's starting to look like I may enter closer to 7000 than 6000 bills.

Looking at my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 87.64% so the goal is 88.64%), my percentage is now 88.14% [+0.50%].

At this point in the year, if I've entered 42 bills for a particular FRB than I'm on pace to enter 100 bills for that FRB.

This week I got my 51^st two hit/three State bill which traveled from California -> Arizona -> Florida.

Completing 50 State Bingo was the big story for the week. West Virginia still trails all other States in hits, although only have 2 hits in 5 States (Alaska, Delaware, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Dakota), so if it gets another hit quickly, it could move out of last place.
