I love that @infocville.bsky.social shares these and while I share others' concern that many of these are merely about moving cars better, there are some real safety and efficiency entries in this list of local projects that would improve quality of life on a daily basis for a number of people.
Yes, please!
Explained this to son #1 this morning.
Duncan's paradox.
Thank you for this! I didn't get a chance to get to it back when you wrote it, but I really enjoyed it.
Only if you’re a member of the church of baseball.
@theuptownfive.bsky.social is trying to figure how to get one of these.
For me.
UVA needs to jump on this promotion. Maybe not with Labatt Blue Light (or maybe with; it’s pretty tasty).
I think he really would be enjoying the Ryan Odom era.
Happy to support them every fall with @scoutingamerica.bsky.social’s Scouting For Food project. Hopefully we will be in your neighborhood next fall.
I wonder if after the “apology” she changes her decision.
I saw your name on our list, but someone else handled your delivery. I did get to meet IRL the one-of-one @mtgillikin.bsky.social however!
He's nearing the finish line, so if you can help push him across, we would be grateful: gofund.me/d0104c94b
If you missed that effort, here's another fundraiser, this time for an Eagle project for a Scout relatively new to the area, so their social circle for fundraising isn't as robust as it is for those who have been here all their lives.
Friends, thanks to all of you who bought mulch to support our Scouts in their adventures. It was a long day of delivering nearly 1200 bags of mulch across the Charlottesville area, but so worthwhile.
Friends, many of you have already ordered, but MONDAY 3/23 (TODAY) at NOON is the last day to order our mulch and support our Scouts. Recently I did CPR/AED & Wilderness/Remote First Aid training and saw these Scouts in action. Very impressive! Please help them earn their way. Troop1028.org/mulch
Thank you!
Why am I catching strays here?
Friends, you have one week to get your mulch order in. Let these hardworking Scouts (boys and girls) deliver high-quality mulch to your yard. You can support them as they earn their way to their adventures this year. Troop1028.org/mulch

“The death penalty is both unavoidably flawed and unworthy of a decent society,” the editorial board writes. As long as it exists, it will “be used against people who are poor, mentally disabled or otherwise vulnerable.”

Wahoowa!
In response to some questions:
Delivery the last weekend of March
Orders due March 23rd, but ordering earlier helps the Scouts plan better
The Scouts will put the bags where you ask, but won't spread the mulch
Donations allowed, just note that on the order form
They are v. grateful for your support
Photo of a 3-cubic-foot bag of Quail Ridge Shredded Hardwood Mulch being sold by local scouts for $8 bag delivered to you! Order at www.troop1028.org/mulch.
Local friends, I'm breaking my Lenten skeeting fast to ask you to support my boys' Scout troop which is selling hardwood mulch *delivered to you* throughout the urban ring and select other neighborhoods as a fundraiser for their adventures. Same price -$8/bag- as last year.

Forty-eight-dollars for a single t-shirt?
And eight dollars for shipping?
That won't arrive for two weeks?
Get outta here with that. Hard pass.
Definitely a skunky smell around the kids' bus stop this morning. Now I know why.
This is not a race we want to be winning.
Today when they brought up her brothers at the US women's game, the color commentator (missed her name) brought up Taryn's star turn at UVA. A welcome mention.
