There's a lot of dog owners out there who are a bit upset that Nannies of Albemarle County have declared their dogs a nuisance if the critters launch into annoying spates of barking more than three times. But, if we stretch the county's ordinance, we can get rid of many social ills that plague us such as cat fights, loud little cars, bad bloggers and sermonizing news personnel.

On the path to self-fulfillment, the county board of supervisors is providing for us, the local residents, a chance to once again find nirvana and hapiness at the check-out counter by approving for us an 84,000-square-foot shopping center on U.S. 29. Go, board, go!

The glorious People's Republic of Charlottesville has achieved the panacea of community safety by enhancing revenues through a $200 ticket surcharge on several additional city streets. The move is part of a Cultural Revolution of Safety designed to protect the people from each other and from themselves by forcing them to sell their vehicles to pay for their speeding tickets and then ride the bus, which, by the way, would save energy.

There is a buyer's market in the area for homes, providing you have what it takes to be a buyer in the market. That's not as easy as it used to be.

If you make a decision to decide on a decision to decide whether to make a decision or not, it's still a decision. Or is it? Maybe our road network's fate has long ago been decided and we're just figuring that out.

I thought I'd feel out of place attending the memorial service a celebrated literary author, but it turned out that even the celebrated are regular people. Maybe the regular people are the best people to celebrate.

They don't agree on politics, they don't agree on human rights, but local Tibetans are backing their Chinese neighbors in the effort to repair cities and lives torn asunder by quaking ground.

OK, so there aren't that many of us Buell riders out there and when you run across one, like the guys over at SNL, it's a pretty cool moment. But I saw Keif on the road just now...

Here's the story as told by the Associated Press: Danville police were serving a warrant on a fine, upstanding citizen of that community when they happened to notice a pit bull puppy with its ears cut off. Not just cut off, but sliced off by a man with a box cutter -- a razor blade, in other words. Seems it wasn't just a horrible act of mutilation, it was done on purpose

I don't do it to make an anti-war statement. I don't do it to make a pro-war statement. The only statement I make is that there are lives in the balance, American lives, names of people who deserve our support until such time as we can bring everyone home and find peace in our time, peace with honor, a war to end all wars and some way for infidels and heathen and the chosen and God's Own to sit down and make peace.

Both men were members of A Company, 32nd Infantry Regiment, then attached to the 31st Regimental Combat Team (RCT), 7th Infantry Division. The team was beleagured and nearly destroyed by superior numbers of Chinese soldiers who swarmed the reservoir from Nov. 27 to Dec. 1, 1950. Both soldiers died in late November as result of intense enemy fire, but the resulting rout of American forces and forced withdrawal made it impossible to recover their bodies.

They were the shots heard across the county, over the mountain and on the farms. Persons unknown -- but a 16-year-old juvenile and 19-year-old Slade A. Woodson stand accused -- fired a bunch of .22-caliber slugs at and around cars on Interstate 64, into houses and buildings, through VDOT trucks, at banks and street lights and pretty much anything else that wasn't standing still.
