In the past week, I got 27 hits in 9 States [AZ2, CA15, KS2, MI, NJ, NV2, PA, VA, WA2]. Of those hits, 1 was the 4th hit on the bill, 3 were the 3rd hit on the bill, 5 were the 2nd hit on the bill, and the rest (18) 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 |
| 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
| 3 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 9 | 0 |
I came into the week with a 91 day hit streak. When I didn't get a hit on Saturday that streak ended at 97 days: good for my longest streak all-time. Here's a look at my all-time ten longest hit streaks:
| Rank | Start Date | End Date | Days | Rank | Start Date | End Date | Days | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 05/12/2013 | 08/16/2013 | 97 | 6. | 07/28/2011 | 09/23/2011 | 58 | |

By failing to get a hit on Saturday, I'll have to start a streak from scratch next week.
Of the 9 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:

The hit in Michigan was my first since April of 2013.
Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 2 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 545. The newly hit counties were Passaic NJ and Botetourt VA. 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 5 Years 15 Days 15 Hours 22 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 1st on my all-time longest active list. I also received a hit on the bill that is now my 4th longest active. My top ten longest active bills list is now:
| Rank | Bill Info | Time Active | Last Update | Hits | ||

| 1. | $1 | 2006 | L2964---0E | 5 Years 15 Days 15 Hours 22 Minutes | 08/14/2013 | 2 |

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:
| SoYStart of Year | SoWStart of Week | EoWEnd of Week | WΔWeek Change: Number Added this Week | YΔYear Change: Number Added this Year | PPrediction (for Year) | P/WPrediction for Week: A Week's Share of the Total | PtDPrediction to Date: The Portion of the Prediction that should be Completed so Far | WvPWeek versus Prediction: How the Week's Numbers Stack Up Against the P/W | DvPDate versus Prediction: How the Year's Numbers So Far Stack Up Against the PtD | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bills Entered | 22920 | 27640 | 27754 | 114 | 4834 | 28920 | 115.1 | 26684 | -1 | +1070 |
| Bills with Hits | 3704 | 4525 | 4543 | 18 | 839 | 5074 | 26.3 | 4564 | -8 | -21 |
| Total Hits | 4330 | 5329 | 5356 | 27 | 1026 | 6030 | 32.6 | 5397 | -6 | -41 |
At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 7705 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 60.0 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 88.24% [+0.61%].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 63 bills for a particular FRB than I'm on pace to enter 100 bills for that FRB.
This week I got my 53rd two hit/three State bill which traveled from California -> Georgia -> Michigan. This bill is the aforementioned longest active bill making it a candidate for being one of my coolest bills.
Having my hit streak end at 97 days was a bit of a bummer (especially since I got a hit 18 minutes after midnight), but it was a good run. In order for my new streak that started today to match it, I'll have to get at least a hit a day through November 22. That seems so far away from now.
I made a little progress towards my desired 20% slugging percentage this week. Last week I was 199 hits behind whereas this week I'm down to 193.8 hits behind. I'd see like to see this one fall by the end of the year, but I'm not sure that's going to happen.
I did make progress towards my concept of a weekly hit coolness indicator. I've identified roughly 14 stats that matter to me that would make up the indicator. Still working out how to weigh each stat against one another. I may just start out with each stat being equal and see where it goes from there.
Along those lines, I may be changing the format of my weekly reports to focus more on those stats. The weekly reports will still likely cover wilds and bill entries, but I think I'm likely to scrap the percentages of bills entered that are ones and the data on increasing my non-San Francisco FRB bills. The percentage of bills that are ones doesn't drive any behavior on my part, and my interest in seeing it is waning. I try to primarily spend ones when I can anyways.
As for increasing the lesser FRBs, I still support the concept, but buying lots of $1s to accomplish this probably isn't really worth the extra money. I'll continue to do it until I make a firm decision, and if I do decide to stop, I'll just slowly insert the remaining bills into my entries.
