Crashiversary
I had a nice, pleasant, uneventful ride into work this morning, which is more than I can say for my morning commute one year ago today. On the other hand, one year ago I was doing much better in the“Best Large Mammal” race, which I ultimately won got with considerable assistance from Citizen Smash and Hugh Hewitt. This year, I am crashing and burning in the Best of the Top 100-250 race even worse than Señor Road Rash crashed and burned on his still-functional bike before. Short of causing another Sig Alert, I could scarcely be doing worse right now.
In light of that, I’ve decided that it’s time to do what Tom McClintock should have done in early September of 2003: I’m officially withdrawing from the race and endorsing Patterico. If you were thinking of voting for me (yeah, I’m talking to both of you), vote instead for the guy who can win, and who frequently links to me, to boot. With your help, he can win this one. Now go and make it happen.

Forgive me for using your comments as an e-mail (why do so many bloggers hide their e-mail addresses, anyway?), but I can’t find/remember your e-mail address, and I’m heavily doped up on narcotics. Anyway, I thought I’d pass this article along.
If you haven’t decided on buying a Treo 600 yet, read this. If you have, then never mind.
Sorry again for the off topic.

Wow. For the first time since the beginning of the contest, I am (barely) leading. Hard to believe this endorsement didn’t make a difference. Thanks!!
(See if you can get McGehee to be similarly magnanimous.)

I hope you’ve moved up from two wheels to four since that scary day a year ago.

Please Vote
Please remember to vote for Patterico. I’m only .03% behind now. 18 votes will put me ahead! Thanks to Xrlq for throwing his support my way. That has been an important factor in my closing the gap….
