The canal off Dock St.

If you have access to a kayak or a canoe, Four Mile Creek where it enters the river at Deep Bottom is usually turtle central.

As /u/thetariffof19892 points out, it’s still a bit cold to see them basking much.

I LOVE that we are the south, but have tons of northern influences. We’re right on the coast too. It makes a wonderful collection of people from all over.

That one earthquake though...

Oh nice! I coulda sworn I heard they weren’t going to put it here I’m glad they are!

Just about every creek the Capital Trail crosses.

u/ConstantRunnerVA The free support group that I'm running for fathers is centered around exploring a "conscious parenting" approach--mindful, holistic way to parenting that emphasizes awareness, listening and mutual respect. The group starts tonight (Tuesday 2/21) and runs for 8 sessions. Reach out to the email address on the flyer to register or you can send me a direct message on Reddit if you have any questions.

3 Lakes Park has them in abundance. A few were out last week.

Short pump.

It’s got shopping.
Tree lined windy roads.
Great schools.
2 hours to dc.
2 hours to beach.
2 hours to blue ridge.
Almost no traffic.
4 seasons of weather.

Wife and I both work remote, short pump is our choice of anywhere in us

Osborne Park, specifically in the back while on the wooden walkway. There is a creek that runs under a section of it.

Why stop there? Let’s call our individual people! What a toxic post.

Its still a bit cold to catch turtles running around like they do in the summer, but the lake at UR often has turtles basking on bits of wood sticking out of the water. The "eco-corridor" also should have a bunch other neat lizards and whatnot to spot too. But there are some snapping turtles so dont go sticking your fingers in anythings mouth

One year, I was lucky enough to find a weekend intro to archery class through Parks & Rec. It was a perfect activity and cheap for multiple kids. It was a big hit.

Had a wipeout this week (black ice last Monday). Coqui was able to tune up my bike in 4 days, and didn’t charge extra to straighten my tire. If they’re not slammed with people because of the the good weather, they’re my top choice.

The climate is the only thing I like about Virginia.

Well, this is definitely apt for Charlottesville. Everything there is fussy.

Nah it makes sense. Once the assailant is running you are no longer in danger.

I would, if it could be proven that he acted against the law or recklessly, if i was on his jury. Its the only thing that separates us from wild west vigilantism. In reference to the homeowner, i mean.

You are in way better of a situation than lots of people, myself included, when this happened. Every child needs a dad, even if y'all don't stay together "forever", you are going to be a dad, 90% of being a good dad is showing up consistently. Another thing, don't be the woman's doormat, take charge, lead the family, she will respond positively to not having make every decision or be asked about everything. Sincerely, dude who got girl he was dating pregnant at 23, her 20. Still together 20 years later. Good luck, stay you, be your best you.

I might apply for the construction manager job. Been building all sorts of things with Legos for most of my life.

I remember, after moving down here from a part of the country that doesn't have these kinds of gas stations, someone at work asking everyone if they wanted to get lunch at Wawa. I kept thinking, "we're going to a gas station for lunch...on purpose?". Little did I know that the food would be half way decent and the coffee is pretty pretty pretty good.

Not related, but if you have family and friends there still near the site of the earthquakes I am sorry for anything they may currently be going through. The lack of international assistance must be incredibly frustrating. I know "thoughts and prayers" can't do much of anything, but I hope they know they have not been forgotten.

MM playground with its surprise wasp nests! Part of the adventure.

I went down to the Police Precinct on Grace St around 1st st and asked for copies.

For real, it’s a reasonably temperate area, especially if you’re closer to the mountains
