There's a big brouhaha about how younger people are drinking less and less, and while there are several reasons, being on a cornucopia of better drugs for treating anxiety and depression is a large part of it.
The one time I lost my ID while traveling I was heading home from ROA. The lack of ID took the experience from 2 minutes to about 7.
**CONFIRMED: the temperature fall from 87° yesterday to 33° today in 21 hours is a record temeprature fall for Charlottesville (54 degrees) since records began at CHO in 1961. Big props to Peter Forister (GOAT) for the information!
Accurate.
A wooden deck with a chair and a table with a red umbrella. All are covered with a light dusting of snow.
I mean,I was sitting out here in shorts and a T-shirt yesterday afternoon!
A forsythia, which has recently bloomed yellow for spring, now covered in snow.
POV: you're a forsythia in central Virginia and you decide a few straight days of warm weather in March means it's time to bloom.
Virginia weather: How about a 54 degree temperature drop in <24 hours and some snow?
Go home, weather, you're drunk.
I'm starting to suspect that McGuire is selling his mailing list. I got on it in a vain attempt to be informed (since he is, at least nominally, my representative). The regular appearance of emails from sketchy RW outlets makes me suspicious that he's making money off selling his lists.
Go home, Virginia weather, you're drunk.
Thanks, just put a hold on it at my local library.
Cool, cool.
Yep, we found one on our porch last night. 🐸
I love using the "report content error" feature on Kindle. I have only, and would only, ever use it for typos / grammar / word choice, not for critiquing the work itself. (Just yesterday I sent in "palette cleanser" 😬). If I dislike a book I just don't read it!
Yay, so glad you found a great one! Having just moved to the other side of the country I had to go through the "find new medical providers as a fat person" dance and... It's a lot!
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Why else do I maintain a spam only email address but to vote in critically important polls such as this?
I'd seen the headline all day and finally read it and somehow it's even more insufferable than I'd imagined.
I can't compete with this.

It's gonna be a week full of wah wah trombones and "Stormy Weather" on @marketplace.org.
Chief Prosperity Officer? 🤔
We can't wait to hear you yell about it!
Since it was Pontiac, I'm willing to support this theory (though I didn't really get into Lyle till adulthood).
Just paid 32 cents more per gallon today to fill up than I did last Thursday. Are we great again, yet?
I would eat there.
Not strong enough but at least the right framing instead of "BOV votes to support" which is what I've seen in other headlines.
I actually missed them in my 28 years on the West Coast. They were a very rare treat out there.
Most people don't have side effects at all or if they do have them they're mild and resolve after the body adjusts. The horror stories are what people hear about, not the "meh, mostly fine" stories.
