Real Estate Brokers can Stop Learning After 15 Years
This bill in the General Assembly makes no sense. Or ... get away with it for fifteen years and you're good to go. Or ... after fifteen years, there's nothing left to learn. Can't teach old dogs new tricks? I've been assured that the Virginia…
Wednesday Morning Video
Thanks for bearing with me in this experiment. It's not good ... yet. Notes: - The Flip video camera I used this time seems to be better with sound, but worse on quality than the camera I used the first two times. - I need…
Albemarle County Schools Closed Today
Again. After teasing us after yesterday's cancelation by saying schools would be on a two hour delay today, Albemarle's reverse call system just called with the cancelation notification. For those unfamiliar with the Albemarle County school system, there are quite a few rural roads over…

Interesting New Virginia Environmental Blog
Check out Article XI ... and to save you time questioning "Why Article VI for the title of the blog?" What is "Article XI," you ask? Yeah, I'd never heard of it either. In fact it's the part of Virginia's Constitution dealing with conservation and…
Waldo got Subpoenaed
Waldo Jaquith of Cvillenews has been subpoenaed for names, email addresses, IP addresses, etc. And we'll be watching. My money (assuming I had some to bet) is on Waldo. I debated putting this on the sideblog, but feel that this sort of thing deserves front…
