Awwwww. So adorable! We needed some Sarge tonight. Thanks!

I bought sets of silicon toe “condoms” to prevent blisters. I wear them on 3 toes, each foot. Not bulky. They’ve been a game changer. Only 1 blister in the past year. I used to wear moleskin, but it was inconsistent. The new covers are great. I’ve averaged 6.35 miles per day in the last year.

It also seems to list how they should use guns. That is interesting since they are, supposedly, unarmed.

Thanks for the abbreviated bottom line on this. Sometimes it is hard for us non-lawyers to follow all the double and triple negatives that result from these rulings.

So, clearly, he is one of the people that needs to be picked up by the increased LE and military presence in DC, right? He is breaking the law.

He admitted to riding the Metro. So, he must have felt safe doing that, eh?

These ideas for clients are really good. When somebody calls and makes an appointment with you, you should send them out the list of things to prep - the elevator pitch, what they want to get out of it, etc. That would help them focus and not be nervous.

I hope you will consider including some of us Marylanders as honorary New Englanders. The first time I went to Richmond for a business meeting and they called me a YANKEE (yup - in the middle of a meeting.) I said eff all y’all down here.

Now I have a new reason to cringe. I went to Duval HS and visited Duval’s house several times. It was modest - like his contribution to the court. Ugh.

@stevevladeck.bsky.social I really enjoyed your long read on circuit riders. As a native Marylander, I’ve always dreaded (see what I did there) our association with Judge Taney.
