- a reproduction of a chart from this month's National Geographic that shows a significant gender imbalance in singles across the country. There are, if these data are correct, vastly more single men in California and on the West coast of the US. Likewise, there are a lot more single women in the eastern half of the country. New York is the biggest imbalance, but Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans and Miami also are shown as having lots more single women.

I have no idea what to make of this.

-Some of the single-women blobs in Florida are probably retirees who have outlived their husbands.

-The rest of the data is baffling (but reassuring) at first glance.

Speak for yourself about the whole reassuring bit! "Frightening" is more what came to my mind. Although not surprising we'd disagree on that matter.
