Western Virginian that got pulled into NOVA, then fled to Central Virginia - Charlottesville-ish. Photography, silliness, freshly minted EMT, technology, and other stuff as it occurs to me.

I still drastically prefer the tone of the community here on BSky to other platforms, but damn, the "outraged for the thrill of being outraged" crowd does flourish here. History? Context? Pragmatism? Nah - that all gets in the way of the thrill of a good old fashioned cancelling.

Most potential pet owners consider things like breeding, size, coat, intelligence, trainability, and temperament. Often overlooked is the crucially important element of aerodynamics, which can greatly affect your gas mileage, raising the overall cost of ownership significantly.

Local news is definitely dying/dead because I haven’t seen any reporting on the draft PBR shortage in Charlottesville. Ten years ago my colleagues would’ve been on that! No happy meals at millers ☹️
