If you live long enough, two things will happen. First, you’ll get arthritis as the old joints begin to wear out. It’s sorta like an automobile engine at 250,000 miles when it’s metal on metal, but in our case, it’s bone on bone. The second thing that will happen is that your hearing will also begin to diminish. Either that or it’s that other people all begin to mumble at exactly the … [Read more...]
TREND REPORT
Markets in spring and summer of this year speak of warmer tones like brushed brass, antique gold and gold leafing. Pastels such as Lavender, Robin’s Egg Blue and Pink are hot, hot, hot. The Burnt Orange as seen in the fall and changing leaves was another color to be noticed. Small space living has had a great impact as products in the furniture markets display smaller items for these … [Read more...]
Steady Flounder Action
Dr. Julie Ball Flounder action will remain steady though August, with nice fish being caught from all over the lower Bay waters. Live baiters are experiencing good results along the Bay Bridge Tunnel, especially near the tubes at the 1st, 3rd, and 4th islands. Jigging along the pilings and tubes near the islands is also productive. Keeper fish are being caught in both Lynnhaven and … [Read more...]
The Thievin’ Coons
I had about a dozen tomatoes starting to ripen in three garden boxes on my carport. Then they were gone. Every one. But I did have a cherry tomato vine in my garden, loaded with fruit. Then, they were gone. Every one. I have solved my deer problem, but the thievin’ coons are practically impossible to stop, once they find out you have tomatoes. While raccoons appear cute and … [Read more...]
Road Trip To Clinch Mountain
People like to fish for trout where there actually are trout. Makes sense to me. That’s why fee-fishing areas are gaining in popularity. One of the crown jewels among Virginia’s Fee Fishing streams is the Clinch Mountain Fee Fishing Area on Big Tumbling Creek. The Game Department historically stocks big fish here, often trophy sized fish. The Clinch Mountain fee fishing area … [Read more...]

Broccoli Cups
I subscribe to Yummly, a really neat cooking site. They shoot me stuff about twice a week and I have used a number of their recipes. The thing I like most about Yummly is that most of their recipes are simple – no Bavarian Lentils Seasoned in Rabbit Fat type of stuff. Just simple, easy dishes. But I rarely follow their recipes to a “T”. There is always room for improvement, I figure, … [Read more...]
Charlottesville Golf Center
After 23 years, Charlottesville Golf Center is closing its doors. The city of Charlottesville will now have zero golf shops owned by local folks.

The store is now liquidating its inventory. Stop by soon, … [Read more...]
Curb Service for Boomers
How do young people meet these days? Kids don’t have weekend dances. There are there no more drive-in movies and there are no drive-in restaurants to speak of. Boomers look back nostalgically at the days when a young lady called a carhop would take your order for a frosted mug of root beer and an order of fries. You’d give her two quarters and get change. Drive-in restaurants really … [Read more...]
Hot Times on Saltwater
By Dr. Julie Ball The hottest days of the year are making outdoor activities a challenge lately, but fishing can be good if you can bear the heat. And with a decent forecast for the weekend, plenty of anglers will hit the water. Cobia continue to provide very good action for sight-casters, with more large fish showing up this week. Chummers are still scoring with keeper-sized fish, … [Read more...]
