I took these pictures this summer, but forgot to post them … I’d like to think they’re pretty neat. I love the last one.
I watched a storm front race across an expanse of sky in maybe a minute, effectively turning day to night.

Yes, Virginia, there IS an Avengers Initiative.
We can conclude that from evidence left at the aftermath of one of their battles.
I found Loki’s horn down by the Potomac River. Observe.
(This is the coolest piece of driftwood ever found.)
Happy Halloween!!!
[Cue the theme song]
I want a crossover between “Hellraiser” and “Sanford and Son” entitled “The Lamont Configuration.”
WHO’S WITH ME?
Thanks to Mean Meme-Makin’ Blog Correspondent Pete Harrison for the pic.
Cats in need of a good home.
Hey gang, I found out tonight that Peeking Cat Poetry Magazine is having a sale this weekend on both its 2016 Anthology and all of its back issues — check out its Facebook page right here for details: https://www.facebook.com/PeekingCatPoetry/.
If you follow this blog, then you know I’ve been lucky enough to see my own work selected for many issues, as well as the Peeking Cat Anthology 2016. And I can personally guarantee that there is always a roster of terrific poets sharing their voices there.
If you’re looking for some thoughtful Autumn reading and you’d like to support indie lit, then consider picking up a copy or two.
Nerdiest accidental cosplay fail ever?
You buy a “Punisher” t-shirt just for kicks, and because they’re apparently out of the “Daredevil” designs. Then you throw on your dark overcoat without thinking.
The result is an inadvertent and extremely pathetic attempt at emulating Frank Castle.
Yeesh.
Showtimers Community Theater, Roanoke, Virginia, October 2016
I saw an absolutely fantastic production of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” in Roanoke the first weekend of October, performed by Showtimers Community Theater.
I then was treated to a tour of the entire theater itself. The wooded hilltop location is a renovated 1908 church secluded from its surrounding residential neighborhood — it’s a small touch of ambiance that further makes the venue an easy destination for people looking for an atmospheric night out. (Showtimers has been operating since 1951.)
Well, Sammy T’s in Fredericksburg is closing …
See yesterday’s article in The Free Lance-Star linked below.
I do believe that all of the major Mary Washington College hangouts in the mid-1990’s are now gone … Unless I am mistaken, Spanky’s, The Irish Brigade and Mother’s Pub have all long since closed … I think not long after the Class of 1994 graduated. (Correct me if I’m wrong — PLEASE. It would make me feel better.)
It … just isn’t the same Fredericksburg any more.
What about that country bar on Princess Anne Street? The one that was supposedly so rough — but fine to take your date on those “okay” nights when they had square dancing? Was it “The San Antonio Rose?” Or was it called “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” after the song? Something like that?
The Roanoke Star and Mill Mountain, Virginia, October 2016
The Roanoke Star has crested Mill Mountain more than 1,000 feet above the city since 1949. It is visible for 60 miles, and results in Roanoke’s nickname as the “Star City.”
The views of the Roanoke Valley from the mountain’s crown are breathtaking.
Worried about handing Donald Trump the nuclear codes?
Then this song’s for you!
