Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, Dies at 71
Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.

Charlottesville: any idea why there was traffic police near the Ivy / 250 junction ~1pm. Any connection with the 4 giant helos flying low nearby the same area ~2pm?

And most problematic is that Group 1 doesn’t seem to understand / admit Group 2 exists. Boy are they going to be surprised (again) when they don’t get votes just for being the other party.

Long shot, but: Did you find a small brown bag with front and rear bike lights, somewhere between Ix Art Park & S&P Global, anytime since Friday afternoon? I bought them and *immediately* lost them, having stuck them *on* instead of *in* my car.

The timing of this announcement with the press conference, regarding an actual armed gunman, is really quite something. A real crack team they’ve got there; I’ve even heard, “they’re staying up all night”!

Charlottesville: how are the main roads looking out there? Are Hydraulic / 29 minivan ready? How about parking lots such as Barracks? Wegmans? Whole Foods? Is early next week going to be better with warmer weather, or worse because of warmer weather, i.e. melting / refreeze?

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Downtown mall is open, to walkers that is, didn’t see any actual open establishments.
Brick walkway that’s been plowed. Blue umbrellas on left behind black fencing. Paramount Theatre marquee in foreground top right. Large brick bank building further down behind that.

Market Street‘s looking good.

Charlottesville: I will second this after just walking around downtown. Walking was easier on untouched areas. With that said though the downtown proper has a nice cleared pathway.

High Street near the hill. Not too bad, and lots of plows and John Deere-y things out (but to be clear I wouldn’t suggest getting around right now.)

Guess it’s good we sled (sledded?) Mt. Hedge Street yesterday, but I’d love to understand better why this street was a priority over 1st Street. (Just curious as I’m not trying to get anywhere and move around mostly by foot anyhow.)
Looking down a hilly street that’s been plowed. Street sign to the left indicating 1st St N & Hedge with red fire hydrant below. Large white brick home showing to the left in foreground and townhouse down below.

Charlottesville: a little look into what’s up downtown. This is 1st Street N, next to the Haven. So … there’s work to be done, and being done. Plowing and removal is ongoing. Side streets have maybe been plowed once?
Large snow pile with person in two-toned green snow jacket with hood & green pants, dark grey boots, climbing. Large tree mid frame in background (Market Streer Park), Hill & Wood building and awning can be seen on left behind snow hill and house further behind.

Mt. Hedge Street has been conquered once again! Hot chocolates & chai latte celebration in progress.
View looking down a snowy street with someone, in a large jacket carrying a colorful umbrella, walking away near the bottom. Large bush in forefront right, ivy covered wall foreground left, townhomes on left near bottom of hill, and shed then house on bottom right.

Librarians crack me up.
A book shelf display, with the end including a sign saying “Book Display”, a poster below saying “Non-Fiction Audiobooks”, and shelves full of books with the common theme of ice. And a sign on the shelf with a cartoon picture of a polar bear’s face with a blue scarf and red cherries around saying “Adventures in the Arctic”

A large empty library display case “in support of free speech“ is, well, it’s saying something.
A large raise rectangular display case with blue base and a paper affixed in its bottom right corner indicating “In support of free speech, this display case is for use as a public forum …” and including a picture of and quote from Thurgood Marshall.

It's interesting to think about Charlottesville's & UVA's historic willingness to use the powers of the state to destroy housing — Vinegar Hill, Gospel Hill, etc. — and their seeming reluctance to use them to create housing — dorms excepted.
