Holy cow, R. Allen Webb is making up new Congressional districts too.

Fresh off the news that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (i.e. the stimulus act) has created over a dozen new Congressional districts (I’m running in the new 00 district myself), it looks like Chairman R. Allen Webb of the 99th House of Delegates Republican Committee has created a new Congressional district himself. From an […]



Happy Foggy Thanksgiving!!

Hey, we actually saw some sun yesterday afternoon and stars last night!! A quick check of traffic cameras shows the sun shining brightly west of the Blue Ridge mountains, but fog shows up even in the cams around Raleigh NC. According to the Sterling N…



Is Catherine Crabill a Provisional IRA member?

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Nov 25th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The folks at “I’m Surrounded By Idiots” (that would be me) have been wondering for a long time where exactly Catherine Crabill got her infamous ‘ballot box or bullet box’ quote (since Patrick Henry never said anything remotely similar — ever).
While spending too much time on Wikipedia, I came across this quote from Provisional Irish […]

The column of dust in the center of this photo is a gustnado that my brother recorded during our first “family chasecation” in 2002. We were a bit north of Liberal KS in the southwestern quadrant of the state. The following is my original terse write…



Let there be…a trough!

This is the depiction of the wind field over the northeastern U.S. at the 500 mb level (~18,000 ft) for 7:00 a.m. this coming Friday morning. It shows a deep “trough” or dip in the west-to-east winds, meaning a couple of things to us:(1) Strong upper…



Going Rogue With Wine

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


It’s true. This year we threw up our hands and decided we weren’t going to try and figure out what people wanted but what we wanted to sell. Our Thanksgiving Picks are a bit reckless but we have a solid defense, they are all fabulous food wines that will play nice with your Thanksgiving meal. In fact we went so far as to not include a Pinot Noir. Scandalous! What we have are wines we love, want to drink and feel really good about selling because they come from real winemakers who still produce from their land and hands. No big box store (or fancy grocery store) can say the same.

In fact Northern Virginia Magazine came calling to see what we were doing and ended up writing about it, check it out here.



and in the end… (part cinq)
