New State: Idaho Hit

Tonight, I got my first hit from the state of Idaho. The best thing about this hit is that it was on a stealth bill. A stealth bill is a bill that is entered into Where's Gearge but is not stamped or marked with Where's George. Now I have 9 more states to go for 50 state bingo. Here are the states I still need a hit in:

Delaware
Hawaii
Kansas
Montana
New Hampshire
New Mexico
Oregon
Rhode Island
South Dakota

75th Hit In Buncombe County, NC

This morning, I received my 75th hit in Buncombe County, North Carolina. This hit is also my 45th hit in the city of Asheville which is the county seat. Asheville is the largest city in Western North Carolina.

Bills Traveling Together

I got three hits on Thursday. Two of the hits were on two bills that I entered at the same time. Now, 125 days later they are still together. The one bill has already has been hit. I wish they got hit together the first time.

The Second Bill

A Southern Sigh!

I post messages most in the South Eastern USA Forum on Where's George?. When people in the forum have not gotten a hit is a while they ask for a Southern Sigh. This is how Georgers complain about a dry spell in the regional forums. Each region calls it something different.

• Midwest USA = Midwest Moan


• North East/ Mid Atlantic USA = Northeast Nag


• South Eastern USA = Southern Sigh


• Western USA = Western Whine

It works really well. On Saturday, I posted a message saying that I have not got a hit is six days and needed a hit. I received a Southern Sigh from my fellow Georger in the Southern Forum. Will early Sunday morning I received this hit.

Helping With Scientific Studies

Where's George has been used by many people to setup models to study how a disease could potentially spread. As with this article form Yahoo! News called 'Worst Case' Scenario for Flu Estimated from May 1, 2009, Where's George is cited as a resource for a study. I am glad that a hobby that I enjoy a great deal is being used to help people.

Hit On One Of My Filipino Bills

I have some happy today to see that I got a hit on one of the bills I used while I was in the Philippines. I believe my five dollar bill got hit in South Korea by two soldiers in the United States Army station at Camp Hovey.

The Hit

I am sure this is the first of many international hit that I will get from the bill that I used in the Philippines. I hope that I get at least one hit in the Philippines from these bills.

With the traveling distance of 6,957 miles, I am sure this is my farthest traveled bill to date. This is only my third international hit.

Two Direct Hits

This morning, I checked my e-mail and find out that I got two hits. The interesting thing is that they were direct hits from a Burger King I eat that yesterday.

Hit #808

Hit #809

It is always fun to receive direct hits. I have got a few direct hits before but it has been awhile. A direct hit is when someone hits a bill and in the user notes says they got the bills from the same place that you spend the bills.

Since I have TWO bills from this location suspect someone in area is originating them. Finding TWO bills in one location can't be coincidence. ~ User note from Hit#808

I response to this user's note. I have seen were two or more bills entered by the same person traveled together for a couple hits. This is rare but it does happen. It is interesting seeing how money travels.
