The last day, the last leg took us through Georgia’s Low Country; thanks to my neighbors Cheryl and Niel I’d actually heard of it. Flat, endless vistas; these places always give me an urge to get out of the truck and walk some, to see it. We crossed the state line with great anticipation for the free orange juice they give out at the Florida Welcome Center. We weren’t the only ones disappointed to find the place closed down, for the holiday the sign said, but we suspected, conspiratorially-like, that it was connected to the Federal shut down. Other grumbling travelers mentioned the missing orange juice as we milled around the locked doors. At least the bathrooms were still working.

Throwback hits such as “Careless Whisper” and “Love Shack” transitioned to contemporary beats after midnight. Kit Harrington escorted Malin Åkerman and boyfriend Jack Donnelley to the bar, while Better Call Saul antihero Bob Odenkirk chatted with March Oscar nominees Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon (The Big Sick). Outside the ladies’ room, women chirped about Ronan Farrow, wondering whether he should be somewhere else reporting.

— Tax reform, which drove business for many firms in the fourth quarter, is over, but lobbyists said there’s still plenty of work to be done shaping new rules created by the bill and pressing Congress to take up a technical corrections bill. “Tax reform implementation, trade battles and healthcare continue to drive the market,” Hunter Bates, a partner at Akin Gump, said in a statement. While Democrats and Republicans seem far away from any agreement on a technical bill right now, “it’s malpractice not to engage and try and be part of the conversation,” Elizabeth Gore, the chairwoman of the Brownstein Hyatt Farber Shreck’s government relations department, told PI.

On the way I ask Siri to tell me about the guy, a fanatic who tried to foment an uprising of the South’s enslaved population. Long story short, if you can’t recall it, John Brown attempted to capture the Federal Armory at Harpers Ferry, and arm the slaves who could then overthrow their masters. His plan failed disastrously, for him anyway, as he was executed two months later. His last words? “You may dispose of me very easily; I am nearly disposed of now; but this question is still to be settled – this negro question I mean – the end of that is not yet.”
