From Portsia Smith’s “Caroline Crossroads” blog:
Talked to Sheriff Tony Lippa and he has confirmed that Lt. Col. Mike Hall resigned from the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office effective immediately Tuesday.
Lippa said Hall will focus on his lawn care business, B & H Site Improvements.

Prologue: I had originally planned on publishing this post on Monday but I deferred posting for one reason. The person involved, Travis Nutter, was one of the investigators which worked on the Joseph Beverley murder case for which John Wayne Peck was on trial for earlier this week. Since I did not know if Nutter […]



Carter had Begin and Sadat, Clinton had Barak and Arafat; Obama has…a Harvard professor and a cop?

Saw young Michael Covington as I wandered around the Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair looking for a feature. I’ve been incredibly deep in the weeds lately and haven’t had much motivation to write about it. Maybe this weekend…



Storms for Us?

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Jul 24th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’m currently watching this short line of storms to our west. If they hold together and/or intensify I could be tempted to head out for a look. Otherwise it’s a Friday afternoon, traffic stinks, and I’m tired…any one of which is enough excuse to no…



Time lags and travel

Having been out of town most of the week it has been a while since I last posted. I was actually out in the great state of Utah, “enjoying” the heat of the desert. Whoever first said “but it’s a DRY heat” needs to stick their head in an oven…it’s p…

Leaving the Party, So Soon?

A fortnightly rant, FL-S style with a h/t to my CLW homies. Great seeing you all! Thanks for reminding me of the things in life that truly are most-important.
Earlier this week, I acted on a decision that has left some scratching their heads and others wondering “what the #^c& is going on with (him)?”
