My February 2013 Where's George Summary

In February, I entered 493 bills and received 100 hits (78 of which were the initial hit on the bill). I ended the month with a hit rate of 16.30% [-0.01% compared to end of January] and a slugging percentage of 19.11% [+0.02%]. For a while there, February didn't look like it was going to reach 100 hits, but I was glad to see it make triple digits if just barely.

Moving onto my top "blocks" (a block being a series, demonination, FRB, and block letter combo), the big mover of the month was 2009 LK jumping into 2^nd place for 2009 blocks and sixth overall. With just 40 bills seperating LK from LG, I expect LK to be my top 2009 block by midyear.

Once again, I didn't see much activity in the top ten State/county/city charts, but I think that's going to be normal. New York was the only State in my top ten to fail to get a hit. Oregon now trails Hawaii by just one hit: I expect those two to have swapped spots by the end of March. Contra Costa and San Francisco counties flipped spots. I wouldn't be surprised if they flip a few times this year. Reno, a newcomer to the city top ten last month, was the only city in the top ten to not get a hit this month. We'll see if Fresno retakes the spot in March to once again make it an all-Californian top ten.

It was a pretty boring month in regards to $1 series bingos. I got no new spots for Series 2009 but did finally enter my first LM bill. I picked up hits on 2006 FS and 2001 A* (always nice to get a * hit!), but that was it.

New First Hits: A* [02-14-2013];

It's hard to not consider February a disappointing month. 100 hits is the fewest I've gotten in a month since December of 2011. Granted, February is the shortest month, but I still expected more. My goals/predictions regarding hits in 2013 are well behind now, and I can only hope that future months will pick up for February's slack.
