We first acquired our bottles of The Brewer’s Art Green Peppercorn Tripel after the original bottling back in 2007. The bottles were a gift from my parents who ventured into Baltimore specifically to visit The Brewer’s Art to get the beer f…



Why did I get a reckless driving ticket for a single-vehicle accident?

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

A lot of people get into a single–vehicle accident where their vehicle is the only one affected and they end up walking away with a reckless driving ticket. Why does that happen? Honestly, part of the reason is because of Virginia law. When an officer comes upon an accident and there is any kind of […]

I’ve been paging through files from 2012 Virginia chases and found this photo taken June 22nd just after 6:00 p.m. south of Moneta that shows what may have been a wall cloud earlier in the storm’s cycle (the lowering to the right of the rain shaft at l…



Can I serve my jail time on the weekends?

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Nov 26th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I get this question a lot from clients and potential clients who are facing mandatory jail time (such as for an DUI with a blood alcohol of .15 or higher, or for a driving on suspended third offense). Instead of having to serve jail time consecutively, some people want to serve it on the weekends […]



Black Friday Crowds

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Nov 26th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

No, not at the mall. I try to avoid crowds of angry, desperate, and sometimes violent, people. There’s no way I’m going to a store on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Instead we opted to spend time at a more sane location – the shooting range. …

The moral of this story: if you’re going to make someone the Director of Highway Safety, make sure they have a clue about being safe on the highway… In July 2007, Sheila Burgess was appointed the director of the Massachusetts Highway Safety Division.

Could’ve chased in Hawaii today!  Radar shows a pretty decent storm over southern Oahu…something that doesn’t happen all that often. When the chase season is truly over and done with we chasers look for anything to distract us.



Sky Meadow State Park Hike

If two years in a row makes a tradition, then we have a tradition of spending Black Friday on a trail, far from a mall. This year we went to Sky Meadows State Park to do a 8.4 mile loop hike. It was a perfect day, 60ish degrees and blue skies. The trails are well […]



Flying Dog Harvest Ale

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

I received this bottle of Flying Dog Secret Stash Harvest Ale from the brewery a while ago, but it was lost in the beer fridge and temporarily forgotten. I came across it the other evening and decided it would make a great beer with which to kick off…
