Video of May 7th 2013 wall cloud near Altavista VA

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • May 8th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

This video – at eight times normal speed – was edited from my fixed video camera footage and is decidedly NOT high definition.  It was taken just after I’d witnessed and taken digital stills of a white funnel underneath the storm base.  When …



Chambers Cakery – A Fredericksburg Sweet Spot

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • May 8th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

For my May newsletter, I let my Public Relations Manager, Laura take over this article. Here is what she had to say about Chambers Cakery: Chambers is my all-time favorite place to get a cupcake or buy a cake from. I have been a customer for over 10 years. The first cake Melissa made for […]



Driving on Suspended Secret: Getting Your License Fixed Does Not Make the Case go Away

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • May 8th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

This is probably the main myth that I hear about driving on suspended cases. People say, “I was told that if I get my license fixed, the case will be dropped.” That’s just simply wrong. The charge you’re facing is that your license was in fact suspended on the day you received the ticket. Just […]



Sunset and Sunrise App

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • May 8th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

With the lengthening days, and the time change, I often find myself wondering just how much daylight is left? Do I have time to get to the range, shoot, and still see to pick up my brass? Is there time for some yard work? Not to worry, “there’s and app…



May 6th avenged

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • May 7th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

For some reason either Blogger or I was being stupid last night (probably both) and nothing would work right so I posted a mini-writeup for our May 6th chase over on the Virginia Storm Chasing page on Facebook.  The overall summary was that we wer…



The Stupid, It Burns

“A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made.”

Yep, a Virginia second grader was suspended for holding his pencil like a gun. I wonder how Ms…



Losing Marijuana Defense – I Only Had a Bowl

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • May 7th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

This argument is similar to the one about only having a little bit of marijuana. Many people tell me that all the officer found was a bowl or a grinder or a pipe; that the police didn’t actually find marijuana. However, this is ignoring what’s basically microscopic marijuana in the bowl or grinder or pipe. […]



Beer Delivery Drone

Partiers at a South African music festival could soon be ordering beer delivered “air mail.”

Large crowds. Beer cans falling from the sky. What could possibly go wrong?

Injured Reserve

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • May 6th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I had hoped to be sharing tales of two fun pistol matches from this weekend, but alas, it was not to be. Last week I ended up getting my left hand wrapped up in a spinning steering wheel on the lawn tractor. The radiologist deemed the x-rays “within no…



Losing Marijuana Defense – I Only Had a Little Bit

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • May 6th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

For a charge of Virginia possession of marijuana, the Commonwealth doesn’t have to prove a specific amount of marijuana in your possession; they just have to prove that you had some marijuana. That’s why the defense of claiming that there was only a little bit is not enough to get you out of the charge. […]
