For an entire year they have entertained us and brought immense beauty to our yards. I speak of the birds, our back yard companions. So maybe now is the time to give back to our fine-feathered friends with a Christmas gift they will enjoy. Actually, one of us humans really needs to give this gift to another human so we can hang it in the yard or on the porch. The gifts I suggest are birdseed … [Read more...]
Sugar Cookie Bake Off
Faithful CvilleBuzz reader, Bob Huff, noted that his wife, Doris, thought the Betty Crocker mix for sugar cookies was better than Krusteaze – which I think are among the best sugar cookies I’ve ever put in my mouth. I was skeptical, but suggested that Bob arrange a bake-off to determine which indeed was the best sugar cookie mix – Betty Crocker or the Vanilla Butter Sugar Cookie mix from … [Read more...]
Thoughts On Boomerhood
I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do the second week. Old age is coming at a really bad time! I don't have gray hair. I have "wisdom highlights". My people skills are just fine. It's my tolerance of idiots that needs work. Even duct tape can't fix stupid ... but it can muffle the sound! The kids text … [Read more...]
Stripers In The Chick
Mike Johncox at Riverside Camp says that nice size stripers are tugging on lines in the Chickahominy River. "We are catching plenty of 24-inch fish," he says. In addition, the catfish bite is still going strong with quite a few 20-30 pounders coming to net. Some even larger than that were also reported. The bass are being caught by anglers drifting large minnows at the mouths of major feeder … [Read more...]
Chilly Waters
By Dr. Julie Ball As the water temperatures continue to cool, some windows of opportunity are allowing boats to venture further off shore, where anglers are having some decent catches. Wreck fishing is improving off the Virginia coast, with good hauls of jumbo sea bass ranging to over 4-pounds reported. A few triggerfish are also available around the Triangle Wreck area, along with … [Read more...]
Save Strokes – Get Fit
Golf swings are like snowflakes – every one is different. One-size-fits-all hardly applies to golfers and their equipment. “You can’t play your best golf unless your clubs fit your personal swing and style,” states Kevin Gibson, Manager of the Charlottesville Golf Center on Berkmar Drive. “It is very important to have the right club to match your swing.” One of the best ways to reduce your … [Read more...]
South River News
A thousand browns were stocked in the South River. The folks over at South River Fly Shop in Waynesboro note that with the much-needed rain this week, the South River should be in great shape for this weekend. So far, there have been three fall stockings in the downtown Delayed Harvest section, so there are plenty of trout. Recently, SVTU and the shop, along with angler donations, … [Read more...]
Holiday Band Concert Dec. 11
It’s never really Christmas until the Charlottesville Municipal Band stages its annual Christmas Concert complete with beautiful Christmas music, sing-along carols, and – I don’t know how they do this – but it actually snows inside the auditorium! After all that, it’s time for Christmas. Band Director Steve Layman announced that the 2016 Christmas Concert will be held on Sunday December 11. … [Read more...]
Bikes For The Toy Lift
As adults, we remember the great toys we received at Christmas. No doubt, the gift of a new bike was the very best. Remember getting on that bike for the first time and sailing down the hills, flying like a soaring eagle? It’s hard to conceive in this age of affluence that there are many families among us who cannot afford any toys for their children, much less a new bike. As mentioned last … [Read more...]
The Sugar Cookie Controversy
Last week, I offered my opinion that the Krusteaze Vanilla Butter Sugar Cookie mix made the best sugar cookies you have ever put in your mouth. Not so, says Doris Huff. Doris, who supplies husband Bob with his sugar cookie fix, says that Betty Crocker sugar cookies are by far the best out-of-the-box sugar cookies on the market. Bob says there should be a bake-off and he will decide which is … [Read more...]
