In the past week, I got 24 hits in 4 States [CA20, IL, NV2, WI]. Of those hits, 1 was the 3rd hit on the bill, 1 was the 2nd hit on the bill, and the rest (22) were the initial hit on the bill. Below is a calendar view of the hits throughout the week:
| Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday |
| 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 |
| 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
I didn't have a hit streak coming into this week.
Of the 4 States in which I received hits this past week, none were the first hit for that State in 2013. Overall I've received hits in 42 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 2 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 547. The newly hit counties were Champaign IL and Green WI. I set a goal of 98 new counties hit in 2013, and here's a look at my progress towards that goal:

Of the bills hit in the past week, the longest active bill from the bunch was re-entered 4 Years 222 Days 15 Hours 55 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 3rd on my all-time longest active list. I also received a hit on what is now my 8th longest active bill. My top ten longest active bills list is now:

I made predictions regarding bill entries and hits and new bills with hits for 2013. Here's a look at how I'm doing towards those predictions:

At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 7606 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 58.7 bills per week for the rest of the year.
Looking at my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 87.64% so the goal is 88.64%), my percentage is now 88.27% [+0.64%].Regarding my goal of increasing my non-San Francisco FRB entries, here's a table of my current progress:

At this point in the year, if I've entered 65 bills for a particular FRB than I'm on pace to enter 100 bills for that FRB.
This week I got my 54th two hit/three State bill which traveled from California -> Iowa -> Illinois.
It was not a very good week for hits, and after the past two weeks, I'm no longer hopeful that August will set a new record for hits in a month.
I'm still working my way towards a 20% slugging percentage. Last week I was 194.8 hits behind where I needed to be. After this week, I'm 187.6 behind.
I made some progress towards a new way of looking at the results of my hits for a particular week. I've identified 14 stats that I care about. Now I need to determine whether or not I need to give certain stats additionally weighting versus each other. Ignoring weighing, this is how I'd score my past week:

| Weekly Score: 1.1 | ||||
- The second hit on a bill is worth 1 point. Each hit thereafter doubles in value (i.e. The third is worth 2 and the fourth is worth 4.).
- A bill active for a year is worth 1 point. Each additional hit doubles in value and partial years add partial value.
- A "Sleepy" Stats is one in which I haven't received a hit in the previous 3 months.
Along with figuring out how (if?) the various stats should be weighed against each other, I'm also deciding if these are truly the stats I want to score (perhaps for bills active, they need to be active over two years for example). Hopefully I'll get this all figured out in the next few weeks.
