My Where's George Week in Review: 07/07/13 - 07/13/13

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 35 hits in 12 States [AL, CA¹⁷, MA, MN, MO, MT, NJ, NV⁶, TX², UT, VA, WA²]. Of those hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 7 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
07	08	09	10	11	12	13
4	5	6	4	8	6	2

I came into the week with a 56 day hit streak. I got a hit on every day of this week which extended the streak to 63 days: good for my 5^th longest streak all-time. Here's a look at my all-time ten longest hit streaks:

Rank	Start Date	End Date	Days		Rank	Start Date	End Date	Days
1.	10/07/2012	01/02/2013	88		6.	07/28/2011	09/23/2011	58

5.	05/12/2013	07/13/2013	63		10.	01/04/2013	02/06/2013	34

Of the 12 States in which I received hits this past week, 1 were the first hit for that State in 2013: MT. Overall I've received hits in 40 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

Previous New Still Needed for Goal Beyond Goal

That hit in Montana was my first since August of 2012. Additionally, the hits in Massachusetts and Minnesota were my first in those States since March.

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 4 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 537. The newly hit counties were Plymouth MA, Jefferson MO, Lake MT, and Somerset NJ. 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 14 Days 13 Hours 59 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 74^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:

	SoYStart of Year	SoWStart of Week	EoWEnd of Week	WΔWeek Change: Number Added this Week	YΔYear Change: Number Added this Year	PPrediction (for Year)	P/WPrediction for Week: A Week's Share of the Total	PtDPrediction to Date: The Portion of the Prediction that should be Completed so Far	WvPWeek versus Prediction: How the Week's Numbers Stack Up Against the P/W	DvPDate versus Prediction: How the Year's Numbers So Far Stack Up Against the PtD

Total Hits	4330	5138	5173	35	843	6030	32.6	5234	+2	-61

At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 8006 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 71.4 bills per week for the rest of the year.

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 88.11% [+0.48%].

At this point in the year, if I've entered 53 bills for a particular FRB then I'm on pace to enter 100 bills for that FRB. Nice to see all of the FRBs at or ahead of where they need to be at this point in the year. Didn't notice this before, but Chicago ("G") is above goal percentage and Atlanta ("F") just reached goal percentage.

It was a good week all the way around. Don't know that I ever remember seeing my hits spread across so many States nor having a State other than CA with more than 3 hits (I got 6 in Nevada this week). Hopefully this good fortune will continue on next week.
