What's your point?  Oswald didn't take Whaley's cab to Oak Cliff?

Not if he picked his passenger up at 12:30 and the guy was wearing two jackets and a khaki blue uniform.

Easy to criticize those putting it out there.  You've never put anything out there.

Like making up fantasy stories is a virtue...

Nonsense.  We were not "hauling ass".  We were walking with a purpose, as Oswald most certainly would have been doing.  We weren't walking any faster than the Oswald actor walked in the Gary Mack/Dave Perry time trials and I've seen you criticize that.

Nonsense.  You were "walking" way faster than Gary Mack's guy.  Yes, you were "walking with a purpose".  Your purpose was to make it to 10th and Patton in 12 minutes.  What was Oswald's purpose in hauling ass like that?  Was he afraid he would miss Tippit?

You're getting desperate here to add to the list.

All I really have to do is show that it was possible, which has been explained.

Lots of untrue things are possible.

That changes absolutely nothing.
Oswald could have arrived at Tenth & Patton by 1:12.

Leaves Depository at 12:33
Boards Mcwatters' bus at 12:40
Exits the bus at 12:44
Enters Whaley's taxi at 12:48
Exits Whaley's taxi at 12:53
Enters the rooming house at 12:59
Leaves the rooming house at 1:00
By 1:01 is walking south on Beckley.

No.  We weren't walking any faster than "Gary Mack's guy".  You're not making sense.  He did it in 11:10.  We did it in a bit over 12 minutes.  Please explain how we were walking faster than he was.

But they got to 10th street from Crawford and you can't do that anymore.
