Thanks to Dan’s comment on my previous post, I dug out some old photos I took of downtown Fredericksburg, circa 1981. Here’s a shot of the back of the store Dan mentioned, Lowery & Cox. I guess guns really do go with everything.The old Victoria The…



See, I’m not getting paid for this!

Okay, one last “adjustment” in the forecast. Overnight the weather models re-cast the track of the storm system even further south than previous runs, and the major model forecasts are now in agreement. Thus we will see less snow than I’d thought, m…

We’ve been following the story of the eminent return of Tuppers’ Hop Pocket Ale since late 2008. Well, that long-awaited day has finally arrived. The beer officially (re)debuted at the Hard Times Cafe in Bethesda last week. Greg Kitsock writes in The W…



Prescription pricing shenanigans

By From http://odonnellweb.com/pelican/ • Jan 28th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

One of my prescriptions, usually $10 for a 30 day supply (generic) was $30 today with my new insurance. In looking at the prescription closely I realized the pharmacy gave me the name brand, not the generic. When I went back and questioned, they told m…



Sun, Seed, & Soil

The award-winning Harvest Song artisanal preserves are finally back in stock. And to celebrate…we have lowered the price on the 10.2 oz jars!

From their website:

“What sets Harvest Song apart is the way our products are grown, harvested, prepared and brought to the table. Our products taste like they were just picked from the garden. That’s because farming in Armenia is not industrialized like most modern countries of the world. Chemical fertilizers are not widely used. The fruit is sun ripened and immediately picked and prepared for preserving, so the vitamins and nutrients are not lost before the canning process. Only natural ingredients are used to compliment the flavorful fruits and vegetables.”

Be sure to have them with your favorite wines….try the Sour Cherry or Peach with a Riesling or Tempranillo. Or the Apple & Pear with a Sauternes, or if you are a beer lover, your favorite stout. The Wild Strawberry with a sparkling rose, or the Quince with a Pinot Noir or Pilsner.



Paul Warner Powell to get the chair on March 18th.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 27th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
I’m assuming he’s getting the chair, he chose the chair the last time he was scheduled for execution. If, for some reason, he changes his mind, he’ll get the liquid styrofoam instead.



Clinging to twigs here

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Jan 27th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Translated, that means I’m going out on a limb in this post. Given the latest (12Z) model runs I’m predicting 6-8″ of snow for the Fredericksburg area starting after 10 pm Friday night and ending sometime late Saturday night. I realize I’m ahead of t…

So, we’ve gone over what properties qualify in the proposed guidelines, how the bank will qualify a seller to be in the program, and the rules and regulations the banks will have to follow if they choose to be in the program.  Now, I’m gonna get down to the problems with this document and its […]
