150th Anniversary of The Battle of Fredericksburg

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Dec 9th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I made a slide show from my pictures of Sunday’s processional from the waterfront to Sunken Road. We followed in the footsteps of the Union soldiers that made the same trip under heavy fire in 1862. It was a very thoughtful and somber program that was put on the NPS staff today. My thanks to […]

Part one of 2012 chase account published

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Dec 8th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Just published part one of the 2012 Virginia stormchase account.  I decided to publish it as a FB note and thus will break the overall account into several parts.  It has been a good review of the year’s activity – or lack thereof – and may p…



This is not a homeschooling blog

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Dec 8th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

If anybody actually visits this site (versus reading in a feed reader) you may have noticed that for the first time in this century, I’ve removed any reference to homeschooling from the tag line. With one kid in college, and the other waiting for SAT scores which she is very confident are higher than her […]



Dry Fire Dojo

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 8th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Confession time. You’ll recall I wrote about my dry fire routine previously. I was seeing some progress, though the gains were slow. And frankly, the routine got boring. It was certainly easier to skip a day than to get out my gear and practice. After …



Merry Mischief

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Dec 7th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

As noted planned, Colleen and I shared a bottle of Sam Adams Merry Mischief Gingerbread Stout earlier this week. It was an unexpected treat, and on a “school night” even.

I will admit to a bit of trepidation when opening the beer. So many spiced bee…



Culpeper County DUI/DWI Defense

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Dec 7th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

If you get a Culpeper County DUI or DWI, you really should talk with an experienced Culpeper DUI attorney.  Even if you don’t have a defense available in your case, an experienced Culpeper DWI attorney should be able to help navigate the case with you, including helping you mitigate and minimize possible punishments. There are […]



Reckless Driving Already Covers Texting – Expanded Definition not Necessary

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Dec 6th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Delegate Cline’s proposed bill to specifically say classify using a mobile communication device while driving as reckless driving is unnecessary.  Not only is it overbroad like I’ve discussed before, but this bill is completely unnecessary because if you’re texting it can already be considered reckless driving. The bill seems to stem from a case back […]



Delegate Cline’s Texting Bill – Streaming Radio is Criminal

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Dec 6th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Virginia Delegate Cline has introduced a proposed texting while driving bill to amend reckless driving to include using a mobile communications device while operating a vehicle. But that would create an overbroad expansion of reckless driving. Some of our legislators apparently equate using a cell phone with failure to maintain control of your vehicle.  The […]
