Sidebar Shuffle

The Bridgeport WV weather has been promoted ahead of the Reston VA forecast in the sidebar.
tbbs-land will be ready when I begin typing this drollery from Almost Heaven.
Though the heavenward direction starts with my seeing Northern Virginia recede in my rear view mirror.
A beautiful sight, to be topped only by Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.
Start your [...]

Back at tbbs WorldHQ

The first Search For America Tour for 2008 has reached its conclusion. My little bride and I arrived home, happy but tired, yesterday afternoon. We quickly scooped our gear out of our rental Cadillac STS, and headed to the airport to return our beautiful Capitalistic Rental Car. It was an awesome ride, V8 [...]

Northern Virginia Lineman

Man, what a round of storms we had here yesterday. I think it even made the national news. 70+ tornado warnings, 4 or 5 on the ground, torrential rain, large hail, and intense straight-line winds. I’d never seen anything like this here, and only rarely back in Kansas.
One death, caused by a [...]

Northern Virginia Suckage, #21679

I just got back from some banking1 and beer-cooler stocking errands. There’s a 7-11 Express around the corner that stocks our everyday beer of choice2; this store is located in a strip mall3 that is also home to a Home Depot. On arrival at the 7-11, I was greeted with what I thought was [...]

Pardon Our Dust, While we Renovate to Serve You Better

I see by the WordPress Dashboard, that WP 2.2.3 is out. The upgrade will commence shortly. I’m gonna script the upgrade this time, to cut down on the hand-to-server combat that previous upgrades have entailed.
See y’all on the other side!

Carolina, RoVA, NoVA

SWMBO and I are safely ensconced back at tbbs World HQ, following the drive from Conway SC back to Northern Virginia. The trip was routine, except for a real “flat rock” rain that happened just north of Richmond. A little time in a nearby Walgreen’s parking lot, along with the munching of a [...]

Dampened Fireworks

Back home, and catching up on news, I see that there were several fireworks accidents here in NoVA last night.
The one that will get the most press is the one on the National Mall; second will be the one in Vienna VA, where SWMBO and I spent many memorable Fourths, before our gracious host and [...]

Home from the Hills

The West Virginia trip was a 100% authenticated blast. Our host and hostess are about as laid back as we are; we were shown our room, bathroom, location of such things as coffee, etc, and told to make ourselves at home. And we did.
Last night, we had the traditional beer drinking, [...]

Still Here

But quiet, blog-wise. The home renovation rolls on; it will be great when it’s over, but what a royal PITA on the way there.
Then, I promised SWMBO that she and her best girlfriend could go shopping for “accessories” when the work is done.
The price of home improvement has escalated.

Be it Ever so Rude

SWMBO and I got back about 4PM local time, after 2100+ miles, 6 nights, and three states. In the 2 hours we’ve been home, I’ve witnessed more instances of dumbass driving and other general A-type yuppie rudeness than in the entire 2100 miles and six days combined.
I miss the South already. NoVA [...]
