Does this picture explain why we need to spend $138 million on our new bus system?
It always seems faster if you walk from downtown to UVA.
TJ once said, “Information is the currency of democracy.” Does it seem odd that the school he started is now the driving force behind legislation that believes “the currency of fundraising is denial of information.” UVA is in the process of raising 3B, but they don’t want us knowing anything about where the money comes from. Obama or Osama…should it matter? Probably not.
I guess TJ was pretty good with secrets…at least on the sexual front, so maybe his school should do the same with money. Then add some drugs and rock and roll to the mix and the party is on. Hoos your (sugar) daddy?
Do taxes
Work out
Drink
Do dishes
Not necessarily in that order.
I don’t know how many more of these 60+ degree winter days I can handle. It has snowed twice this year. Twice. A total of 4.5 inches. They claim our average is 24 inches. There is no snow in the forecast for the next 15 days. I’m willing to bet we won’t see another flake. We only got flakes for about 5 hours this year. Will I ever get to wear my winter coat here in Virginia? It is time to market this area as a dry brown area that lives in a state of permanent decay, and not a four season paradise.
Maybe the heat is due to all the smokers around here. Since the authorities love smoking (and will NEVER ban smoking at restaurants/bars), and promote death to children, I guess there is not much to do. Maybe I should go buy a pack and puff away the rest of the evening. Like the rest of the refuse in this state (remember…NOVA is not part of VA).
The big topic of discussion amongst the locals was the guy who went ballistic in the midwest. Do you think he felt inferior to the Virginia shooter just before he offed himself? Do you think all student shooters will feel inferior compared to Cho? There just aren’t enough statistics to analyze this issue. Such is life.
Go CHO. [Note: This is the slogan for the Charlottesville airport.]
Let’s face it, you should never try to cross 29. As a kid in Miami I learned to cross on pedestrian overpasses. That was in the 70’s. I guess 70’s technology hasn’t quite made it to the village yet.
Our politicians have once again decided to do nothing about trying to ban smoking in restaurants/bars (I wish I was in politics getting kickbacks from the VA cig lobbyist…big bucks baby). Virginia really seems to like needless death.
I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry, but a store owner on the historic (tourist attraction/highlight of C-Ville/home of musical marshmallow/resting place of freedom wall) downtown mall had a pretty good business going in terms of drug deals. Dope, crack, bootleg DVD’s, guns…you name it.
What the story forgot to mention in the story is that the store (Sexshuns…should the name have raised eyebrows? How did the BAR ever approve that name next to kiddie places?) is about 100 feet from the Charlottesville Police Department. What is that old expression…keep your druggies close, but the police even closer.
The store overlooks the Freedom Wall. Is that funny? And the kiddie museum and carousel. And I’d be willing to be the security camera that overlooks the carousel might have some good footage…if they actually have that turned on.
Now…where is our downtown mall surveillance camera system? Bad boys, bad boys…whatcha gonna do.
Look what a little wind, a long running drought, lack of power, plague, and Huckabee supporters have caused around here.
Great shot from The Daily Progress/Andrew Shurtlef
OK…just kidding on the Huckabee comment. I think we should nominate him so that Stephen Colbert would be the VP. But the wind, drought, lack of power, and plague are all true.
I say this every single time the weather predicts a breeze over 5mph. Wind blows, power goes.
It has gone for more than 30% of the village, since the gusts are over 20mph. I have a feeling it may be days before it comes back…so say goodbye to outskirts…it may be gone for awhile.
F*cking village. Modernize..or buy a new mule. Time to go buy some ice so my food doesn’t all spoil.
OK…this is a fantasy, thus it will never happen. I’m sure locals will do everything in their power to keep this from ever happening. We don’t like roads that lead out of town. We don’t like outsiders. We don’t like those from “the north.” (For some reason I sure see a lot of bumper stickers saying the south will rise again.)
But at least one or two people are talking about a train to civilization running every single day.
The train will come, tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow, there’ll be trains
Jus’ thinkin’ about, tomorrow
Clears away the TJ hos and the waldos
’til there’s noneWhen i’m stuck with the day that’s gray and southern
I just stick out my chin and grin and say, ohhhThe train will come, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on ’til tomorrow
Come what may…
Every single year the state (aka commonwealth) level politicians pass laws so that ANYONE (criminal record, child killer, terrorist, child, insane, hungry, tired, poor, etc.) can buy a gun here without showing ID of any sort. We love guns. We make guns. This state is a bastion of guns.
Why on Earth are they wasting time going after a few students that brought a gun to school when anything with a pulse can buy one? In this town leaving your baby in a car a bit too long is not a crime, so why should bringing a chunk of metal to school be a crime?
The place is ridiculous. If you don’t love guns pass new laws, otherwise let people play with their toys Educate the kids, don’t arrest them.
