Sadly, I lost the mystery readers I had last year in Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, whichever one of Alabama/Mississippi that is, and a couple of miscellaneous New England states. But since readership was up overall, I must have picked up the slack somewhere else in the world (or in the US).

Thanks for indulging me, and thanks to Google Analytics!
