If you need to catch up on the show, click here for link.
Park Spraying Scheduled
Rings Of Saturn
A crowd of people were at the Oregon Hill Overlook on the winter solstice to see the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. Hope everyone stayed safe with masks on.
Dominion’s Proposed Solar Array Would Block Overlook View
The zoning administrator rubber stamped the request from Dominion ignoring the signed declaration of restrictive covenants that restricted the height at that location.

The last time the James RIver was running this high was 1996.
Beautiful Wednesday (Rain Tomorrow)
“Do You Know Who Touches This Every Day?”
Some quick coronavirus news tidbits:
Vets are advising cat owners to keep their pets indoors if at all possible. It’s important to note that the animals themselves are not catching the disease.
And in what cannot be good news for RVA (Is that Dominion Chesterfield coal plant shut down yet?) “an increase of only [a TINY particle of pollution] in the air was associated with a 15% increase in the Covid-19 death rate”
And, perhaps not related to coronavirus…
A couple from out of state were charged with illegally discharging a gun near the James River Park yesterday. Some neighbors heard the gunfire on this side of the river.
Nice Day For A Ride
Glorious, Sunny Monday
These photos are from Oregon Hill’s Riverside Park, one of the City oldest parks, with the parcels acquired between 1889 and 1906.
Enjoy the sun while we can, a system is expected to bring some rain tomorrow afternoon.
