@SocialCommentaryBot Interesting developments.
Contemporaneous reports of Mercer’s appearance remain available.
What i cannot quickly find is the result of Mercer’s bluster: was there ever a finding in a competent court? Even at the glacial pace of courts, one might expect a decision in six and a half years.

If you’re snowbound and want an easier place for biking in winter, come visit. When we see tourists on bikes, we let them know: people who bike are our favorite visitors! Although we hope for more winter rain, we can pretty much guarantee you no snow. https://bikemonterey.org/pipe-in-the-new.html
If you don’t like the weather here (it’s not Southern California, it’s California’s Central Coast), it’ll change. Photos show changing weather on the Big Sur coast Sunday, December 29. Rain, fog, then sunshine broke through. We shot these at 2:23 pm, 4:40 pm, 5:05 pm. We do miss the years when Big Sur was quiet, had no heavy traffic, no crowds necessitating passes for Pfeiffer Beach, etc. It makes sense that its spectacular beauty summoned millions of new visitors in recent years. https://bikemonterey.org/big-sur-not-big-enough-sur-by-tim-harrington.html
Wherever you are, we hope you’re doing what you can to help care for this beautiful planet. #ThereIsNoPlanetB.
Happy 2025!

Tony Bennett’s second career peak began with Perfectly Frank, his 1992 album of standards associated with Sinatra. The band (the Ralph Sharon Trio) is in top form and its before he started putting “cool” guest singers on his records. My favorite song on it (with lyrics by Georgia’s own Johnny Mercer) is I Thought About You. Also this album’s version of Night & Day is much better than any of Sinatra’s. https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-thought-about-you/576708050?i=576708109 #tonybennett #johnnymercer #franksinatra #riptonybennett #music
