Do you have a plan to vote? Charlottesville early voting is EASY. I highly recommend it as you never know what might get in the way of showing up on Election Day. A link to see your ballot: ballotpedia.org/Sample_Ballo...

Yes - they are also the problem. I could say very similar things about them in any outing. And don’t get me started on scooters! Can’t we simply agree everyone should follow the rules of the road?

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.

Oh, this just in: I see the shelter in place has been lifted. www.cbs19news.com/news/shelter...

UPDATE: Shelter-in-place order for part of Pantops area lifted
ACPD issued a shelter-in-place order for an area within half a mile of 1500 State Farm Boulevard just before 3 p.m. Monday. Everyone is urged to stay indoors until further notice.

Thanks for posting as I received the update while in the area and found myself wondering the old Martha Jefferson? the new Martha Jefferson? (is anything actually name that anymore?) I was over between Meade pool & Guadalajara & the old Martha Jeff ~3:30/40. no sign / sounds of anything.

It’s almost as if one cannot even imagine the scenario of a primary goal that is not “maximize profit”.

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”!

Is it even possible to order a $15 / $16 sandwich at Bodos? Our real estate / rental prices may be competing with those of NYC, but thank goodness our bagel prices aren't!

I can confirm it has indeed rained downtown & has been what would be referred to as “a drizzle”.

Glad to commiserate on the awfulness of VitalChek. On the upside: 1.) when contacting city clerks or churches directly, I’ve found them to be generally helpful & friendly in helping track down exact names, dates, etc., and 2.) one can access Ancestry at the library for free!

I once had a friend (~15 years ago) describe Charlottesville as a place where people are proud to spend the most possible on anything (cue artisanal hot dogs in York Place) and I’d say that expands to our capitalistic tradition of charging as much as the market can possibly bear (+ a bit more).

redkateo @redkateo.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
Thank you so much for this picture & ALT description. We had one fly right in front of us on Skyline Thursday and perch on a tree next to the road. My best guess was barred owl & seeing your pic made me certain. (Plus our pictures were not nearly as nice & clear.)
