By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 27th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I was half asleep as our bus made it’s way through the Irish countryside when I spied a sign for the town of Bunratty in county Clare. Wait, that sight looks familiar. Then I recalled we had tried some Bunratty Mead a few years ago. I managed to g…

One of our first alcohol-related stops on our Ireland pilgrimage was the historic Killbeggan Distillery in County Westmeath. Opened in 1757, it is the oldest licensed distillery in the world. This stop was a late addition to the schedule per the r…



Culpeper Possession of Marijuana and Underage Alcohol – Thanks to Mom

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Oct 25th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A Culpeper mom is charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor for allegedly buying her teenage son and his friends alcohol and allowing them to drink and smoke marijuana. The sad part of that story, in my opinion, is the three 18-year-olds who are also charged with contributing to the delinquency of the […]



Can VASAP make me go to therapy?

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Oct 25th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Yes. If you’re convicted of Virginia DUI, the law says that you have to go to VASAP. And unfortunately you have to pretty much do what they say. The statute (18.2-271.1) actually says that you have to “…enter into and successfully complete an alcohol safety action program…”. For many first offense cases, they won’t require […]

Dublin, it’s down there somewhere

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 25th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Approaching Dublin last week, I was watching our flight path on the seat back monitor. I started wondering if perhaps the pilot was already hitting the Guinness.

In reality, the airport was fogged in so flights were backed up, putting us in a ho…

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Oct 24th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

People routinely drive 85 mph on I-95 in Virginia, but the maximum limit anywhere in Virginia is 70 mph. For much of I-95, the limit is actually just 65 mph. A new toll road in Texas opened today with a speed limit of 85 mph. Yep. 85! That’s the highest speed limit anywhere in the […]

The noPhoto is ILLEGAL in Virginia – Don’t Take Legal Advice from Inventors

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Oct 23rd, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I recently read about a new gadget that’s designed to beat traffic camera tickets (for red lights and speed). Naturally, I was intrigued. The product is called the “noPhoto,” and it looks like any old license plate frame. But whenever it detects a camera flash, it fires off it’s own super-bright flashes. The goal is […]
