States That Do Not Love Me

According to Google Analytics, my blog has only been visited by people in 39 of the 50 US states + DC. Here’s who’s missing out:
- Alaska
- Delaware
- Maine
- Michigan (and I sort of *lived there* for four weeks)
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Montana
- Rhode Island
- South Dakota
- Vermont
- West Virginia
- Wyoming
Punks.
Clearly the M-states are killing me here — I’ve only drawn clicks from Maryland, Massachusetts, and Minnesota. Small states are also over-represented above, naturally (but *Michigan* — come on, that reeks of conspiracy), otherwise I’m not seeing many patterns. Red/blue seem pretty even as do west/east and north/south. I guess I’m particularly strong in the Southwest (California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and sometimes Utah).
Meh. I’m not convinced Google Analytics knows what it’s talking about anyway.

So my list of war deaths has helped knock out a few of these states. I can now claim to have been visited by Alaska, Michigan (how was I ever not visited by Michigan?!), Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Vermont, and West Virginia.
Remaining hold-outs: Delaware, Maine, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Wyoming.
They don’t need me, I don’t need them. Fine by me.
Maine, Rhode Island, and South Dakota have now checked in. Delaware and Wyoming: I might drive through but I sure ain’t spendin’ any money.
