I even invested $10 in a <a href="http://www.stamp-connection.com/dept/ideal_wheres_george_stamps.html" rel="nofollow">stamp</a>. I definitely recommend it if you have kids. But I'd warn aspiring users not to get their hopes up: For every 20 bills you mark and distribute, you might get 1 hit back. Lots of people who get your bill won't visit the website. Take a look at K244—I above and check the "Travel Time" column: It didn't necessarily take 212 days for that bill to move from Kincheloe to Rudyard; it took that long for another person to visit the website and enter the bill's serial number. It's cool when you get to watch a bill crawl across the map, but it doesn't happen as often as you'd like. I like the Where’s George website. I even invested $10 in a stamp.

My husband and I enjoy your blog. Not sure if either of us has ever commented, but since I am doing Blogathon, too, I thought this would be a great time to say hello and let you know someone's out there. Hiya!
