Yes. But that seems to be a sign of his trying to line up money from other sources beyond just the blog. Something has to take a back seat when the driver's priorities shift. The blog seems to have taken the hit. But then again the miles and points game just isn't what it used to be either.

VFTW lost a bit of my confidence when moving from DC/VA to Austin. Come on, he'll never be a Texan, even in Austin. You can only be a carpetbagger so many times.
