Here's the story behind Ron's Ichiban this morning:
""Pulse of the Nation: U.S. Mood Throughout the Day," appears to confirm conventional wisdom. The findings, visualized on a U.S. map, showed that early morning and late evening have the highest levels of happiness. The West coast is consistently three hours behind the East coast in reaching the happiness zone. In addition, as would expected, weekends were scored happier than weekdays, with Sunday morning as the high and Thursday evenings as the low score. Apparently, work days are not the happiest time in the lives of Twitter users, and by inference the larger population."
