Phoenixx Double ESB Hits the Spot

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 22nd, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

After a long and exhausting day on the range, I was looking for a beer with which to relax, and sooth a few aching muscles. I was in the mood for malty, and robust, so I opened the door to the beer fridge and started looking. I spied a bottle of Real…



Have You Viewed the Video for my Case?

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Jan 22nd, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Like I’ve talked about before, I always make a point of viewing the cruiser video for DWI cases, if at all possible. The prosecutors normally don’t like to talk about cases until the day before, so I try not to bug them too far in advance. Thus, I don’t normally view the video too early […]



Another Class With Steve Anderson

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 21st, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I spent Gun Appreciation Day in a competition shooting class with Steve Anderson and 7 other local USPSA shooters. This is the second class I’ve taken with Steve, and this session was just as informative as the first, if not more so. I went into the fi…

Saving Gas By Visiting the Pub

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 19th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Our son had a swim meet Friday evening. Since the school hosting the meet was in the opposite direction from my home, but in the direction of Lee’s Retreat pub at Blue & Gray Brewery, I had a decision to make. After work, I could either drive hom…



Frosted Glassware Is Not Cool

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 18th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’ve been ranting on this for years. Now the Brewers Association has created a brief public service video we can use to help educate beer servers and bar managers.

It’s getting there

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Jan 18th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Making progress on the Great Plains chase book.  I still have a couple of formatting decisions to make plus another editing pass through the text and photos but overall the book is 97% there.  I’m not really anxious to finish it quickly since…



That Plan Sounds Familiar

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 18th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Tam hits right at the core of the obama-drones’ blind adoration:

Wayne LaPierre goes and says we need to worry about crazy people with guns, fund better school security, and enforce existing laws & prosecute the people who break them, and the Anti…



Judges Have Power to Amend DWI to Reckless Driving

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Jan 18th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The Supreme Court of Virginia recently considered (Kelley v. Stamos) whether or not a General District Court judge could amend a Virginia DWI charge to reckless driving. It’s a complicated procedural case, but the Virginia Supremes basically said that the Circuit Court couldn’t order the trial judge to find a defendant guilty of DWI. In […]
