We picked up the new (to us) Durango yesterday that is replacing the Durango that was totaled in Michelle’s recent accident. The 04 SLT is not quite as well appointed as the 05 Limited that is now scrap metal, but I knocked 20,000 miles off what the Durango had, and I banked some of the […]

Well, the typical springtime cold air damming wedge has asserted itself over the Mid-Atlantic and is holding the warm front to our south along the NC border. Thus we won’t get into the warm unstable sector until sometime tonight, and I’m not willing t…

Between April 3 and July 1, the Fredericksburg Arts Commission (Arts Commission) will inventory the area’s cultural assets by conducting on-line surveys of artists, arts organizations, businesses, and patrons of the arts.  The surveys are designed to compile a profile of the arts community and document specific needs.    The Arts Commission intends to use […]

Ah, Spring. And what better spring outing than a visit to our own nuclear power plant? Actually, our intent was to spend a little time at the North Anna Nuclear Information Center, the visitor center at Dominion’s power station, which we figured woul…

A fortnightly rant, FL-S style (halftime edition) with a h/t each to Michelle, Jenny, Vic, David, Rob, and the rest of the earnest, hardworking journalists out there working to keep it all real. 
To say the least: 2009 has been terrible for the Fourth Estate.
So far this year: The Rocky Mountain News – Colorado’s oldest daily newspaper […]

“We are the host county and we want to feel like the host county,” Ashcraft said at […]
