My only remaining tie to the Old Dominion is a <a href="http://www.2518cresthollow.com/" rel="nofollow">house</a> that's been on the market for more than a year now. Chris, you may want to check with Jim Hoeft. He put on an excellent blogger convention about two weeks before I left.

I made it out in the California to Virginia refugee relocation program in 2002. Despite 2.5 years in CA I managed to maintain ID citizenship, license and registration, so CA didn't realize they needed to give me an exit visa. There certainly is a need for a VA blogger bash. Maybe we are just spoiled out here with VCDL, a plethora of gun shows, and a great many gun friendly social opportunities. Congratulations on the successful relocation of your family.

The world was created in 1607. 2. The Holy Trinity is LEE, Stewart and Jackson. 3. Richmond is The Capital. Washington, D.C. is just an unfortunate blight on the Maryland shore of the Potomac. 4. Mr. Jefferson is ALWAYS the final authority on matters politic. Welcome home. We’ve missed you. Things you must know before you become a REAL Virginian.

One day we were talking to a docent at DeSoto Bend, and along the way mentioned that we had moved here from California. She looked at us for the longest time and finally said: Why?!!?? If she reads the blogs, she knows why. (And it was hard for me to do --I was born there, my father was born there, his mother and father were born there, our three kids grew up there.....) There are nice folks in Virginia, and when I was driving a big truck, Virginia was one of my favorite states.

People who think that Virginia=Redneck South haven't <em>been</em> to the real South. Georgia and Alabama are the South. Central VA is almost yankee. Don’t listen to him, XRLQ.
