It’s the end of the road for it. Well, sidewalk.
I remember thinking, after all the pre-announcement hype, “That’s it?” It has its uses, but as transport it’s not very practical. No protection from weather, and no cargo capacity.

These LGBTQalphabet activists are out of their minds.
The DC Court Of Appeals
…has ruled in the Michael Flynn case.
This means he walks, unless Sullivan tries to take this nonsense to the Supreme Court.
[Update a while later]
He can’t appeal to SCOTUS yet. He would first have to petition for an en banc review by the whole court of appeals (as we did in our lawsuit).
[Late-morning update]
The fix was in, and Obama and Biden are definitely implicated. And Susan Rice lied to her diary.
[Afternoon update]
The DC Court of Appeals is on the spot.

Whatever Happened To Whats-His-Name?
An interesting disquisition on Milo, Beethoven, and a Chinese pianist. I haven’t listened to the performance yet.
The Costs Of Mann Delay
The latest on our lawsuit, from Mark Steyn. This is our biggest legal victory yet.

Yes, it is long past time to defund it. The taxpayers should not have to pay for lefty agitprop.

California doubles down in its war on employment.
A New Cannonball Record
Less than 26 hours from New York to Redondo Beach, and he did it solo. That would be averaging over a hundred miles an hour, I think.
That’s the sort of thing I might have tried when I was younger and stupider. I did do a 24-hour drive thirty years ago, but not cross country. I started out in Reno, drove up into northern California, decided to go up and see Crater Lake in Oregon (which I’d never done), then came back down I-5. By the time I got to the Bay area, I decided there was no need to stop for hotel, since it was only another five hours to LA.
[Monday-morning update]
Seeing lots of stories in comments, so here’s one more, my funnest non-stop. I was about to graduate, and driving out to California in late August to do some job hunting. On US 40 in Colorado, somewhere near Steamboat, I saw a young woman hitchhiking. I of course picked her up, to prevent someone less…scrupulous than me from doing so (of course, I didn’t consider the possibility that she was herself a serial killer). It turned out that she was headed to San Francisco to see her boyfriend who was sick in the hospital.
I had been planning to stop in Salt Lake for the night, but she was in a hurry to get there, and knew how to drive a stick, so she drove through the night across Utah and Nevada while I slept. At daybreak we were in Hawthorne (Nevada, not California), and headed from there over Tioga Pass into Yosemite. We stopped by an alpine lake in the high country and had a picnic lunch, then headed down into Yosemite Valley, then down through Gold Country, across the San Joaquin and into the city. When we got there, she found a pay phone, and it turned out he was out of the hospital. I dropped her off in a parking lot where he was waiting for her, bid her farewell, and headed down to Mountain View, where there was a thriving spacer community based at Ames.
