Looks like somebody did!
There's been a lot of questionable hit counts going on lately, a la Kos Kidz, so who knows how they are counting.
Any idea who?

Hope your dry this morning, we're not. Didn't get near as much up Dallas way though, thankfully.
It will rain all week and the contractor must be beating his dog by now for not pouring the concrete Friday. Are you on the Armed Citizen Ping list. Dallas is a hot spot of home owners defending their homes and possessions...
Former 49ers Owner Almost Bought Hendrick in 2004 UPDATE no: Former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo told Sports Business Journal recently that he almost became a NASCAR owner in 2004. “We would have bought a NASCAR team if Reggie White hadn’t died,” DeBartolo said of the former NFL player. “The week he passed away we were going to sign the agreement with Hendrick Motorsports. After that, I just couldn’t do it. I loved Reggie too much.”(Roanoke Times)(10-14-2007)
AND and from a July article - Dale Earnhardt Inc. president Max Siegel told ESPN.com on Wednesday [in July] that three years ago he was prepared to partner with NFL Hall of Famers Reggie White and Ronnie Lott, as well as former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartalo Jr., in purchasing MB2 Motorsports, which at the time fielded the #01 and #10 Chevrolets. The papers were drawn. All that was left was the official closing, which was slated for Jan. 15, 2005.
But when White died suddenly on Dec. 26, 2004, and the deal died with him. Siegel said he and White originally had planned to partner with Rick Hendrick on a NASCAR Busch Series operation. Then the Hendrick Motorsports plane crash in October 2004 halted that initiative. A couple of months had passed, and Siegel said Hendrick contacted him about the program. Hendrick explained that in order for him to be involved, White and Siegel had to purchase a team with an existing Hendrick partnership. Enter MB2, whose engines were supplied by Hendrick. At the time, Valvoline was part-owner of MB2, as well. All the pieces were in place, then White passed away.(ESPN.com)(10-14-2007)
UPDATE 2: At the time in question, Mr. DeBartolo and Mr. White were in discussions with the former MB2 Motorsports team, and our involvement was limited solely to a potential technical support relationship. Hendrick Motorsports is not, and has never been, for sale.(HMS)(10-16-2007)

I think that could be applied to your contractor too! LOL
