Last evening as I was headed South on 15/29 cutting over from I-66 to Fredericksburg, I called home to have somebody check Google traffic for conditions around Rt 17, I-95 and Rt3. The report was good, but as approached the left hand turn onto RT 17 at the Sheetz, it was backed up quite a [...]
Also taggedWe had some time to kill after dinner Friday evening before we needed to pick up our daughter from a Girl Scout event. So we wandered into the new Joseph Beth store at Spotsy Towne Center. I don’t get it. They are trying to play up the independent bookstore angle, but there is no indie [...]
Also tagged95 South was even more of a parking lot than normal today. I heard the traffic report on two local radio station at around 5:15 PM – 5:25 PM. The stations were 93.3 (WFLS) and 104.5. Both traffic reporters reported that all lanes were open on 95 S near Fredericksburg, and the extra slow traffic [...]

Also tagged ParentingI furthered my son’s musical education last night by taking him to the Zoso show. He’ll never have the chance to see Zeppelin live. I won’t either. I was just a few years too young to have caught Zeppelin back in the 70s. The start of the evening was a bit of a farce as [...]
Also tagged MusicEarlier today I got a new follower notification from Twitter. The Tin Foil Five is now following me. It didn’t scream obvious spam link so I clicked through. It turns out that they are a local metal band. I didn’t know we had any original metal in FredVegas, so that’s cool to know. I’d like [...]
Also tagged Music, social mediaLast week I got the bright idea that I’m tired of paying $200 to board the dogs for 4 days every time we want to take a short weekend trip. We have a large fenced yard, and they are after all, dogs. It would be cheaper to leave them in the yard and pay a [...]

Also taggedI wrote about this story last year. It turns out there was nothing there. The judge dismissed the charges against Matthew Borowski after the prosecution rested it’s apparently laughably weak case.

A quick check of Twitter showed that this was not a widespread issue as nobody was complaining. After confirming on my Linux box that this was not a PC virus or something [...]
Also taggedWe picked up the new (to us) Durango yesterday that is replacing the Durango that was totaled in Michelle’s recent accident. The 04 SLT is not quite as well appointed as the 05 Limited that is now scrap metal, but I knocked 20,000 miles off what the Durango had, and I banked some of the [...]
Also taggedMichelle asked me to check the phone bill online as she didn’t remember getting a bill recently. So I logged in and noticed that the address on our account was not our address. This morning I called CavTel to clear up the confusion. I was informed that the last bill was returned undeliverable on 1/30. [...]
Also taggedSo we decided to mix up the take out habits a bit and ordered from Brother’s this evening. When we got there to pick up our pizza it was not ready. It wasn’t even made. They weren’t busy. When the pizza finally came out of the oven it had the wrong toppings. Really guys, it’s [...]
