Our ymca has open family swim most of the day all week. I’ve gone mornings, afternoon and evening with my daughter mom through sun. We go to the Tuckahoe YMCA. That said, the pool may not be particularly exciting for kids. There is no slides or kid features. But if they just want to swim around, it’s fine.

I went there last summer and there was a surprising number of police — there seemed to be over a dozen: Out front. In the lobby. Before going down either wing to get to your theater. In the halls outside the theaters.

I asked one why they were all there. Kids causing trouble was the gist of it. This was around the time of the “Minions: Rise of Gru” memes, so I thought it was related. Maybe not so much.

It's not a bar, it's a private club for folks interested in BDSM, so they have their own entry rules. There are public nights, and private nights. You have to be sponsored to become a member.

Was it just not available for shipping at all?

They also have a pick-up location in Chester. I literally just ordered an IVAR unit yesterday and it wasn’t available for delivery but I was able to get it shipped to the pick-up location there. Will be able to get it this Wednesday.

Disclaimer: not legal advice, I am not a lawyer only speaking from personal experience.

Over the years I have had a bunch of speeding tickets including a few reckless with the biggest being 88/45. I’ve been to court in richmond, chesterfield, FarmVille and Blacksburg. Each time I’ve gone to court without a lawyer. I dress nicely with a tie and jacket and always respectful of the judge. I plead “no contest, at the mercy of the court”. They look at my driving record and determine my sentencing. I done driving school or community service to remove my charges. The biggest reckless ticket, he reduced it to improper equipment or something and gave me a 300$ fine. I groaned at that and he said “I can give you no fine and you’ll have the reckless ticket raising your insurance for the next 10 years or have the 300$ fine, it’s up to you”. Needless to say I took the fine.

I think that because I got all of those charges removed/reduced instead of just paying the fine and not going to court, my driving record stayed pretty clean which is why my sentencing was never too severe. If I was a bettin man, then if this is your first offense, I’d bet you’ll get assigned driving school to reduce the charge. It’s a turd that takes up your whole weekend but it’s better then the reckless charge.
