Happy @cvilleweekly.bsky.social day to all who celebrate! This week, our cover belongs to former at-large Albemarle school board member Allison Spillman, who cut short her first term and resigned last month. I wanted to know why -- so I asked her. c-ville.com/the-former-s...

Key fob battery is dead again. So sick of this. Watch me trade this car in for an older model that has an ignition key. I really want a dumb car and wonder if this is a growing sentiment. 2012 was about the sweet spot for cars- aux port and ignition key, no SaaS crap.

Another burst of heavy rain on the Albemarle/Nelson County line near Covesville is heading toward Charlottesville. This will likely cause some streets, creeks, streams, poor drainage areas, etc. to flood. Remember: never drive through water-covered roads, especially at night!

This is a great book. Learning a lot. Not overwhelmingly doomer-y, which was my initial fear when I picked it up. It’s written in an engaging and concise manner with interesting historical facts and civic actions related to climate change.

Can anybody out there verify if this big green box in the yard that the tree fell on is an electrical transformer? It says it has voltage… I appreciate the insight. Internet is not providing clarity.

Peeks of sunshine are leading to more thunderstorm development downstream (southwest of C'ville). Stay weather aware for a few more hours, friends, as I feel more severe storm warnings are on the way. Main storm threat remains wind gusts 60+mph.
