Often, as I write information about Fredericksburg real estate, I have a dedicated blogging partner. Her name is Mylla. She is a “Chug,” half Chihuahua, and half Pug. She is pictured here with my daughter, but often assumes this exact position as I write blog articles.

A fortnightly rant, FL-S style (LATE EDITION) with h/t to Amy for some great jpegs:
As our Fred2Blue Land friends Carlos Del Toro, Amy LaMarca and Jhana Porter took their seats inside the Virginia Delegation of the joyous 2008 Democratic National Convention, my thoughts turned back to my one-and-only political convention experience, 28 years ago this month: the Buswreck at Seventh Avenue […]
