I miss the community and the wines from the Wine Guild. Evan & the crew knew how to hustle and to find great wines from around the globe.

So, How Are Wine Shops Doing These Days? It Depends. (Gift Article)
Richer, well-diversified operations are thriving. Small, storefront shops are struggling. And those in the middle are hustling harder than ever.

@veomobility.bsky.social please come get your scooter that’s been at my kid’s bus stop all week.
Veo scooter on the edge of the sidewalk at a school bus stop in Albemarle County. The wet pavement of a dreary weekday morning is in the background.

I used to look forward to the regional chain in my bride's hometown for grocery shopping. Then we manifested a Wegmans a mile from my house. Now it's the Tim Horton's that's gets us motivated to get out the door in the mornings when we're up there.

Anybody know why T*ck*tm*st*r won't let me buy tickets for all 5 members of my family to a show I'd like us all to go to @johnpauljonesarena.bsky.social? I can buy 4 or 6, but not 5. Sigh.

That sign hasn’t been there for a couple of years.
Post along 5th Street Station Parkway where a “State Maintenance Begins Here” since used to be posted. Photo taken 21  September 2026.

I feel like that sign has come down since 9/23 (time of photo). I will say that VDoT did not plow down to/up from the light at WW last winter.

Last information I received (early this year) was that the county is working with Station ownership to fix some things to get the parkway into the VDoT system. AFAIK, the parkway is not accepted from Avon down to the traffic light.

I appreciate all of this. I will say from my perspective looking at the numbers as part of LRPAC, too many schools need repairs and updating that we aren't funding now. The physical plant side of things isn't where ACPS's issues lie. If you're open to it, happy to chat more directly.

The “Southern Parkway” was pulled out of the county plans with the completion of 5th St. Station parkway ( still maintained by the center owner, as of last winter)

There may be some as good as Ethan Saliba, but there are none better. His service to generations of UVA athletes set the standard and is a big reason UVA Athletics is the place it is. Maybe now we can get him to attend the Men's Basketball reunion in January! virginiasports.com/news/2026/06...

Interesting choice of cover photo with the storm clouds rolling in. Deeper meaning or your subconscious trying to tell you something?

When we brought some Scouts working on Ad Altare Dei to do the DC Religious Trails Activity for their retreat back in the spring, our guide at the SJPII Shrine told us about this and offered it for @scoutingamerica.bsky.social groups who wanted to deepen their experience nccs-bsa.org/wp-content/u...

Folks, take 3 minutes to do this today. Word is that feedback so far is predominantly alumni. They need to hear even more from community members and employees. The main message to send is that UVA should be a better neighbor and a better employer.

Living in a cul-de-sac neighborhood on Harris Road, I find myself seeing multiple delivery trucks and the occasional semi navigating sharp turnarounds as they are looking for Harris Street.

I think you’re both talking about the same place. I don’t think he’s talking about the diverging diamond at 124. I think it’s at 118, but not on 64.

If California’s death penalty statute is found to violate the equal protection and cruel and unusual punishment clauses of the state constitution, it may provide a template for other states to ban the punishment. wapo.st/4zytxpw

Anyway, if you're in my neighborhood and getting a new roof, *and* you're willing to waive privilege, I'd love to hear who you're working with and what you're paying. I've got a guy for when I need a new roof, but I'm always interested in the going rate.

Ultimately he said it was company policy to not divulge that information over the phone & not the law, but his inspector/estimator could tell me that information in person. Presumably after an estimate or he signed me up as a customer. Because you know he'd find something I need to fix immediately.

I just received a call from a roofing company telling me they are working with some of my neighbors on new roofs & could they come give me an estimate. The caller told me he couldn't tell me because telling me would violate the law. He basically tried to create "roofer-client privilege."

Nothing like being a 4th year & having a guy from a raided fraternity call your roommate on the one landline we all shared, asking if he could "bring something over." The 2 pre-law guys said "Tell him 'No,'" & reminded their roomie the other phone might be tapped. "Oh sh!#," he said. "Gotta go!"

We frequently hear about customer service nightmares but I had 3 good encounters today out of 4 so I thought I’d shout out Dick’s House of Sport & Staples locally, & T-Mobile’s US-based call center. The Merrell rep was pleasant enough but could only do so much. Today could’ve been so much worse.

Is this from wake-up time or pick-up time? Because our hauler comes through between 4:30-5:00. Ain't nobody got time for that, except retirees and serial killers. Guess I better go get mine since I'm well into ne'er do well territory either way. I'm trying to have my older kids do it instead of me

Isn’t there a new self-storage place going up near you? There’s one going up near me. I’m being ruthless in culling/donating instead. Unless it’s wine. Then I’m drinking and considering climate controlled storage.

Since the anniversary is nearing, my regular reminder that Charlottesville is a place, not an event. The article gets it correct in referring to the UTR rally, but the headline is a fail.
