W&M Commencement

By From http://fredericksblogger.blogspot.com/ • May 20th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

On Sunday, my youngest graduated from college. I’m not an overly sentimental person, so I am going to refrain from waxing poetic about the rite of passage. I’ll just say that I have been struck by how major this transition is, for him and me both, an…



R.I.P. Twenties

By From http://sarahiouslyspeaking.com • May 20th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, RealEstate.Local

Today I mourn the loss of my 20’s and celebrate the birth of my 30’s.  I’ve never been afraid of growing older; I’m just not a huge fan of growing up.  I don’t want to live in a world where I can’t have a moonbounce at my birthday party, or one where I can’t dance crazy-like at a […]



99th House of Delegates Mass Meeting: Video: A lot of the delegates wanted to be sure that they could vote against the kook.

Again, the quality isn’t the best and you can hear me talking in the background (I’m the one with the slight country drawl).
Caroline County Chairman Jeff Sili originally started this discussion off by asking a question about the proposed meeting rules but I don’t remember the exact question Sili posed to Webb. Unfortunately, the portion […]



Crabill Watch: The Free Lance–Star blasts her in an editorial.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • May 20th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The Free Lance–Star:
EPISCOPALIANS, “God’s frozen people,” are little given to flam- boyant displays of religiosity. But Albert Pollard, Anglican communicant, surely raised his hands skyward and whooped, “Thank you, Sweet Lord!” when news came last weekend that Republicans had named Catherine Crabill to challenge him in the 99th House District. Not every day does […]

Obama & Kaine: Risk Rewarded

By From http://fred2blue.com • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I love it when a politician plays it safe and then gets punished for it later in favor of someone who took a risk. In 2002, Barack Obama took a big risk by opposing a war that 70+% of the American public supported. When you look back at the Democrats who did support the Iraq […]



Final Idol Blog ever

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

As I sit here listening to Butch Walker, a guy who can actually write a damn good song, I’m trying to process just how much suck is contained in this year’s Idol ballad. And to think it took 3 co-writers to produce that level of suck. I just don’t get how Hollywood works.
That said, Kris […]



Links to 15 May videos

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Tried to post this directly but wasn’t successful, so here’s the link for a shaky hand held video of a rotating Kansas wallcloud taken during our 15 May chase. It’s sped up 4x. (This is why I use a monopod mount for the videocamera most of the time.)…



CGs from May 15 squall line

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A few vidcaps from just south of the approaching squall line from a no-name dirt road in extreme northern Oklahoma. I labeled the last three CG explosions because that’s what they look like in the video.
