Drive Safely on This Death Drive

In a twist right out of a Stephen King novel, less than one hour after publication of my story about the many vehicular fatalities that have happened on Shore Drive, a bicyclist was killed by an SUV in the same drive. Interesting enough, in my story published on Blogcritics, I mention my run-ins with vehicles where I used to work, which is on the 3700 block of Shore Drive, just blocks away from where the most recent fatality happened. The point of my artcle was to serve as a public service announcement to visitors to the tourist route. Read the relevant article published today on Blogcritics.

Photo Doctoring


The Hampton Roads Scholar was following a story about a picture of ex-Governor Wilder of Virginia, with then-prez Clinton, in a photo with Mark Warner. It was from the mid 1990's but delineated the power of photo-altering software like photoshop. Not that any harm was done, but you are judged by who you are associated with.
