Okay, it’s cold here in Virginia!

The local airport is currently reporting 14 degrees (F), while the forecast for tonight is for a low of 17. That doesn’t bode well for warm weather folks like me, but at least the dew point is back up to 10 degrees so the low tonight won’t get below …

Better Deal: Short Sale or Foreclosure?

By From http://sarahiouslyspeaking.com • Feb 5th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I was asked a question today, while showing houses, that I get asked frequently, “What’s the better deal, a short sale or a foreclosure?”  For the first time, I paused before answering.  My answer used to be that buying a foreclosure was definitely a better deal; and for the most part I still thinks this is true.  […]



Trent Reznor is the future of the music business

If you want to understand where the music business is headed spend 15 minutes with this presentation. The sooner the record companies come to grips with this reality the better everybody will be. Well everybody except overpaid attorneys and executives desperately clinging to the outdated business models supported by the RIAA.



VRE shows it’s best side

Sometimes you wonder just what the hell goes on with this enterprise. This email details just how bad it can be. What I don’t understand is why with 40 minutes delay they don’t just cancel the train. And what the heck are we getting for our 7% fare inc…

Step 1: Wipe your hard drive.

Readers will recall my surprise at finding New Belgium Fat Tire being poured at the World Beer Festival in Durham last Fall. I noted that when I inquired about this incongruity, the reply was “Wait 90 days.” Well, according to a press release posted at…



That’s it, I’m not voting for any Republicans this year…

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Feb 5th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I don’t smoke, but anyone that supports this crap shouldn’t be elected:
Governor Tim Kaine and members of the General Assembly announce legislation has passed to ban smoking in nearly all of Virginia’s restaurants and bars. Exceptions will only be made for private clubs and restaurants that have a physically separated and separately ventilated smoking area.

Happy Weatherperson’s Day!

By From http://sarahiouslyspeaking.com • Feb 5th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Oh what would we do without our weatherpersons?  Funny thing about Fredericksburg area weather is that it’s not actually for Fredericksburg.  We either get Sterling, Virginia weather forecasts, Richmond, Virginia forecasts, or Washington, DC weather forecasts.  So, if a Fredericksburgian (did I just make up a word?) never looks prepared for the weather, there’s a […]
