A Big Thank You To Illinois And To The US
I live in England, Cumbria to be more precise. I’ve only visited the US once and even then I got nowhere near to the place where I feel a spiritual connection to: the Great Smoky Mountains on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. But in the last three months, the majority of my readers have been from the US: 55% to be precise.
Only a measly 14% from my homeland. By state, Illinois, which includes Chicago, has been my top readership location.
California and New York follow close behind. I find this fascinating. By contrast, I’ve got no subscribers from the northern mid western states or the Mississippi delta states. What is it about Illinois that makes it stand out from the other US states I wonder? But a big thanks to all readers in the US. I love you guys. It tears my heart to see what Resident Biden is doing to your great nation.
I wonder if I've got any readers from the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade? Perhaps they could confirm whether or not the Biden administration did indeed use a $472k sidewinder missile to shoot their hobby balloon over Alaska?

Writing from Texas. Thanks for writing about the absurdities in UK. The learnings are legion and maybe we can learn.
