And now, your First Amendment Activity weather forecast:

[mahatmakanejeeves]

Severe thunderstorms northeast of C'ville. Might be headed in the direction of DC. Too soon to tell.

My brother used to live in Rapidan, so I've been all over where this happened.

I got tired of cleaning house, so I walked down to the library this afternoon. I suppose I'll get wet on the way back home.

I hope the bad weather sends the people inclined to violence home.

Several trees down as severe thunderstorms blew over areas northeast of Charlottesville this afternoon. Hardest hit region is Culpeper County.

2. We're getting a lot of thunder right now in Alexandriaburg.

Not much rain, but give it a minute or two.

I had so many potatoes sitting around the house that I made some potato salad yesterday night. Well, I started on the potato salad. I peeled, cut up, and boiled the potatoes and two eggs. I have a jar of Duke's mayonnaise I bought yesterday in the refrigerator, and I'll stir that and some pickles into the mixture. I'll be wet when I get home, but I'll make up for it with some delicious potato salad.

Nothing says summer like thunderstorms and potato salad.

5. The rain cooled an ongoing confrontation in Charlottesville

About two hours ago demonstrators and police were squared off at 4th and Water Streets. A good downpour cooled everyone off. Both sides backed down and sanity prevailed.
