Have you seen those police cars with huge cameras on the trunk? They’re scanning your license plates. These automated license plate readers have been a fairly hot topic in Virginia for the past couple of years. The Attorney General even issued an Official Opinion in 2013 regarding their use (PDF). I just ran across a […]

That probably says more about me than the song though. Anyway, trust me on this, buy the album. You won’t be disappointed.

Heavy Seas is one of my favorite craft breweries. Loose Cannon IPA was one of the first IPAs I drank, and I still enjoy it frequently. However, when I saw the latest Pyrate’s Log newsletter from the brewery, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “No! Don’t do t…
