King George county actually experienced a thunderstorm today, complete with lightning, thunder, and even some radar-indicated hail. I was – only slightly – tempted to head out and chase, but the infernal cold air damming and accompanying low overcast …
Each market in the real estate cycle has its own nuances. The current market is full of negotiations. It’s like watching a ping pong match between buyers and sellers. Each side trying to get the most out of their play. Because of the increase in negotiations many consumers are asking their REALTOR(R) to present verbal […]
Right now I’m hearing that Bob McDonnell will push very hard to convince Sen. Edd Houck to leave the Senate for a job in his upcoming administration, and Houck is seriously considering it.

Today is Beaujolais Nouveau day. Beaujolais (technically part of Burgundy) is a region in France famous for their delicious and (in my opinion) hugely under-rated red wines made from the Gamay grape. Beaujolais Nouveau is released every year on the third Thursday of November worldwide. I’ll skip the technical details, but Beaujolais Nouveau differs from regular Beajolais in that it is made very fast and best consumed young. The vintage is 2009, so these grapes were harvested just a couple of months ago. It’s a fun wine to drink this time of year.
You’ll see some big brand Beaujolais around town but I don’t mind telling you that ours is the best. We have two in stock at different prices and you can taste them at both stores tonight!

The other day, I sent out questionnaires to both Democratic Congressional candidates – Krystal Ball and Scott Robinson – in the 1st Congressional District (currently misrepresented by Rob Wittman) Here are Scott Robinson’s Q&A’s; Krystal Ball’s are here. After this, having spoken in person with both candidates, I will consider making an endorsement in […]
Sometimes traffic stops get complicated. Bystanders can get in an officer’s way. Drivers become agitated.
Due to safety and legal concerns from traffic stops, most police cruisers have dashboard cameras to record everything that happens. Some of the Virginia traffic officers I know even wear microphones on their belts to record any statements made by the […]
