At University of Richmond, President Edward L. Ayers signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. Contrast that with this from VCU’s Commonwealth Times: VCU receives ‘D-‘ for energy efficiency – Sustainable practices barely passing at VCU. One of the planned buildings that Ohlinger alludes to in the CT article is the proposed rec center.

Silver & Rain
Today was Election Day. Voting was very light for a number of reasons – it rained, the polling station moved without much fanfare from William Byrd Community House to the Landmark Theater, and the ballot was very short.
