Tim, I fixed the image size for you.

I agree that the YTD numbers are more important than those of any one month. I encourage all to download the spreadsheet (last link in the first posting in this thread) and look at the graphs. One can easily estimate not only the average for the year (by eyeballing an imaginary centerline through all the data points), but you can also spot trends, highs, lows, etc. easily this way as well. Importantly, looking at the graph puts the data into time-ordered context -- something that a chart of numbers doesn't do well. That is why I have chosen to present the data as I have.

How 'bout taking a peek? Then we can chat about what it is (if anything) that we are seeing there.
