Well...it seems my concerns regarding Brightline's viability were correct.  They are in financial distress.  There was no way this was a sustainable business with the fares they were charging and the ridership they were getting.   I wonder how many federal/state dollars went into this project?
Brightline's future is in doubt after a report outlines the company's multi-billion dollars in debt - CBS Miami

Yep. See my post up thread from yesterday. 

Brightline Florida isn’t even that fast. It’s pretty slow between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.  It does pick up speed though on the final segment between WPB and Orlando…125mph I think.  By European/Asian standards, that’s not really high-speed.

I agree. He likely has a year to go. The victim seemed relatively satisfied with the verdict. I don’t think she would have been if he was going to be released in a matter of weeks. 

Reporting somewhat ambiguous if not erroneous. Some of the media either garbled the numbers or shorthanded the calculation variables. The math only works if the court applied enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody, eg, 1.5:1 ratio vs 1:1 would explain the deduction in this case. A straight 42-month sentence minus circa 27–28 actual months already detained would still leave roughly 14–15 months, not merely 15 days.
Not all of the local articles referenced imminent release. The articles seem to omit remand credit component details and make it sound like simple calendar subtraction, but that’s a full year unexplained. Granting any additional credit, in this case apparently 50% (unless release “in the coming weeks” was a typo, broken calculator, or glossed over sentencing narrative) is not automatic yet can be uncoupled from crime “seriousness”.
I do believe, though, the judge would have verbally articulated justification for enhanced served time credit. “Already served over 2 years” is not a trigger for the court’s credit ratio discretion. Surely the victim should have complete clarity related to Leduc’s status. My calculated guess, if pressed to hazard one, is that he has another year or so of prison time to serve.

Hooking up with the guy on Sniffies who was in the waiting room at my Dr Office.  We were chatting on Sniffies while waiting, then hooked up after the MD appointment.

I agree it's a hilarious thread.  My contribution is from a former friend that lives in San Diego.  He was an aficionado of gay cruising in forested outdoor areas around San Diego.   He was mindful to avoid all the poison ivy plants in the woods (of which there were many)...but...in one encounter he had with a cute Latino guy, the cutie had been touching a bunch of the bushes/plants with his hands before he played with my friend's dick.  Low and behold, my friend got poison ivy on his penis.  Of course he went to the doctor who asked on inspecting him:  "How on earth did you get poison ivy on your penis?"  One interesting fact that my friend learned from the doctor is that that the darker your skin color, the less likely you are to catch poison ivy.  The doctor explained that the latino playmate may not have caught the poison ivy himself but could have transferred it successfully to my friend's pale white penis. 
Another funny (or weird??) story from the same friend.  He previously had lived in Miami for a number of years and had a gay PCP in the area.  He said that one time the PCP was giving him a genital exam and he started stroking my friends cock and ended up giving my friend a BJ in the examining room.  He said he felt very uncomfortable and ended up never returning to that physician.  Today that would be considered sexual assault but back in the 90's my friend just thought it was weird.  

And no tattoos. How refreshing.

Circumcision is mutilation plain and simple.  Things on the body exist for a reason and should not be messed with unless there is a medical need or until the person is an adult and makes a choice for themselves.  
I regret having been circumcised.  Unfortunately, that's just how things were done when I was born in Michigan.  Would I consider foreskin reconstruction?  Probably not because the process doesn't seem to have been perfected yet.  
Oh...and by the way, I do not agree with circumcision for religious reasons.  It's still wrong as far as I'm concerned.

Some of the Johnson's dancers go to Boardwalk afterhours looking for Transgurls.  Just saying...

For me, this guy is a big zero.  I don't get the attraction.  Give me a big buff macho guy every time.  Not this fem guy.  Does anyone actually find him attractive?

So Sad.  I appreciated his advocacy for important causes as well as his film work.   RIP.
The body isn't even cold yet, but our resident clown is already hurling insults at the deceased.  Tacky and thoughtless as usual.

I wouldn't bother. A sense of humor is not available to all. 🤭  Some of us realized you were joking.  What's the old saying: Keep calm and carry on!

Is he using an autopen?

I agree!  I was there the past two Friday nights, and Matt turned up the volume after 9 pm and it was so loud that I had to leave because my ears started aching.   I had to apologize to my friend who wanted (actually had) to stay because his absolutely favorite bodybuilder dancer, Tony, does not come in until after 10 pm and he always does multiple private dances with him, but I am not going deaf just to see and feel dancers, no matter how hot they are.

The market is starting to be realistic about the impact that the Middle East situation can have on the global economy. Hence the falling stock markets around the world. I feel there is the potential for much steeper falls going forward. It’s not guaranteed but the possiby exists for the DOW to plummet much further. I fear a Pandora’s box may have been opened. 

Glad to hear about Matt’s return. Good news!
One caveat however.  The advert above indicates “Bigger, louder, hotter nights”.  Maybe it’s just me…but do we really need “louder” nights?  One of the big pluses at Johnson’s has always been the music not being out of control loud. I like spending time with the dancers and appreciate having the music at a level that allows for conversation. New look, new guys, and a new DJ are all great but I don’t need louder music. 
 
Pre-COVID when Twist still had dancers, the music used to be painfully loud. It was always problematic.
