I’ve wondered about renting out space in my house for co-working. I have a huge second bedroom where I currently have my desk but could definitely fit another. Is there a market for that? Like $200/month? Bathroom, kitchen, coffee maker, fast Wi-Fi, dogs (maybe that’s not awesome).

Its a really great regional airport. The only complication other than food availability is if your flight gets in super late it could be problematic. Once I picked up a friend. Flight was supposed to come in at 10:20 pm. Delays leaving the prior airport and they got in at 2 am. They got locked in. All of the picker uppers arrived to the exit gates shut and locked. Airport was empty. Several of us ran around until we found a janitor who had to make a call to TSA. The plane of very weary travellers had to stand at the gate waiting for them. They had to call the baggage handlers back in from home to unload the plane. After so many delays it was salt in the wound

On day 8 of a Covid infection. Still testing positive. My wife tested negative today. Feel OK, just tired. I'm not leaving the house until I test negative though. Our whole house is packed up and in storage for our upcoming move to Varina, so the wife and I have one TV sitting in the floor. Going a bit stir crazy.

Sigh.

First, there aren’t 50 unsolved a year. You just made that up. Even if there were, 50 a year doesn’t equal 1000 over ten years. You said “math is easy on this one,” but I think you actually had a great deal of difficulty with 50 x 10. And even still, having 50 unsolved on a year over year basis — which there are not — does not mean that those continue to go unsolved forever. Also, even if there were 50, which there aren’t, you have no idea who does the murders. You can’t assume it’s one person per murder, that’s stupid. You can’t assume they all live here, either, that’s stupid. You also can’t assume that they would stay here after a murder! So, to sum up, you made some shit up, did basic math wrong, made several illogical assumptions, and then said something really inflammatory and wrong. There are NOT thousands of murderers walking around and you do NOT walk by one every day.

Your comment is atrocious and ought to be moderated, frankly.

They could have an option for life threatening push one and an operator holds a non life threatening call or the dispatcher says hold to answer and ask if it's life threatening.

Alternatively, the State Police could run assist on dispatch, we have a Governor, between our Mayor, Governor, and Board of Supervisors this is not something as taxpayers we should accept any excuse for btw.

Richmond City is experiencing the longest wait times.

My grandmother and aunt were dispatchers so I know the three shifts offered to them and how their schedule works.

Yes they are under paid, however paid more than rural counterparts, where you have to wait for volunteers for fire and emt after an emergency call.

I’m kicking off week 2 of vacation in Wintergreen. Winter is definitely over for Virginia. Heading to Snowshoe next week. Anyone got recommendations for food around Waynesboro?

This suxs for both parties, but wait there is a bike path within site of where this happened, and the road is pretty wide here, Imagine on some of our other roads that arent a full 2 lanes wide that are full of bike traffic.

Like I said it suxs for both parties involved, fortunate that the biker wasnt hurt bad
