Felt a feeling I hadn’t felt in five days this morning, the air smelled sweeter, colors more vivid, school more “not closed.”

Our next low-pressure system is approaching & temperatures are now below freezing (Wintergreen is in the middle 20s). Model output indicates more than a tenth of an inch of ice for some but a degree or two can make all the difference; freezing rain is a finicky beast! Keep those phones charged...

My neighbors just up the street from us own A-squared pizza in Charlottesville, and their youngest was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
Their family is really nice, and this is a huge bummer right before the holidays. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to help with everything.

Pro Tip: If you're traveling the next few weeks on the Northeast Corridor, book whatever seats Amtrak has left at this point ASAP before prices go way up and availability disappears.
United starting to post its Trump Flight Cancelations for Friday and the #CursedRoute is taking a 50% hit.
“Your flight is canceled due to FAA-mandated airspace restrictions during the government shutdown.“

Hey 👋🏽 Cville peeps! If you haven't voted yet, be sure to get out on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 to vote. Voting is, admittedly, a rather limited way to build political power, but it's still a really important one.
Here's the sample ballot for Cville. Next up, I'll share who I'm voting for, and why

As the first pic shows, Toronto pitcher Trey Yesavage is only the 2nd pitcher in WS history to have 10+ strikeouts in first 5 innings.
Sandy Koufax is the other (1963) and is AT THE GAME! Circled in the 2nd pic!

Independent newspapers are more likely to represent rural communities that are at greater risk of becoming "news deserts."

![The On the Media "Breaking News Consumer's Handbook":
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
“We are getting reports”… could mean anything.
“We are seeking confirmation”… means they don’t have it.
“[News outlet] has learned”… means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:546hcfpi4agq772f6q6lbuch/bafkreihf4pm4yyxscrfxa457mx27ledvws53yt6vq746ongtdbxbh4pzlm@jpeg)
