✅️ Virginia State Park number 5 of 44! First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach is not only our most visited state park, but is the site where English colonists first landed in 1607 in the Chesapeake Bay. (I used to live a few miles from here in East Ocean View, Norfolk!)

Filled up at one of the Wawa gas stations in Williamsburg today and noticed diesel was $6.35/gallon. As someone who used to live full-time on a sailboat and spent half the year cruising with a diesel engine, this would have effectively made cruising cost prohibitive for me.

Second time riding the Virginia Capital Trail, and my longest ride yet at 15 miles today! Distance-wise, this is the equivalent of riding almost one third of the way from Jamestown to Richmond. 🚲 Feeling good that I'll accomplish my goal before my birthday.

✅️ Virginia State Park number 4 of 44! Pocahontas State Park just outside of Richmond is massive. 8,000 acres, 90 miles of trails, three lakes, and a little museum dedicated to the Civilian Conservation Corps - looking forward to more hiking and hopefully camping! 💚

Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA05) endorses @tomperriello.bsky.social for US House bluevirginia.us/2026/09/vide...
"Former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman to Endorse Tom Perriello, Launch “Republicans for Tom Perriello” Coalition

NELSON COUNTY, VA — On Monday, former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman will join Tom Perriello in Afton to endorse Perriello for Congress and launch Republicans for Tom Perriello, a coalition of Republicans from across Virginia’s Fifth District backing Perriello in November.

Riggleman, who represented the Fifth District as a Republican from 2019 to 2021, will discuss his decision to back Perriello, including concerns about rising costs, political corruption, and threats to democratic institutions, and why he believes Republicans and Independents across the District should reject Rep. John McGuire and support Perriello in November."

According to Axios, Virginia currently has 352 operating data centers, with another 391 projects currently planned. Enough will never be enough for those corporations that seek to enrich themselves at the expense of our health and natural resources. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

Mapped: Virginia's data center pipeline keeps getting bigger
Hundreds of planned projects could add roughly twice as much capacity as Virginia has operating today.

I read that the Governor visited Tangier today. Four summers ago, I sailed there on my boat and took in the beauty of the island for myself. This is a place where the people vote Republican 90% of the time and admit to sea level rise, but deny the existence of climate change.

When I became a homeowner in 2013, the median sales price in Virginia was $250,000. That figure has now risen to just over $400,000, an increase of 60+%. I can't afford a home now that's even half the size of what I had before in the town I want to live in on one income. It's impossible.
