Watch Out for Those Crazy School Bus Drivers!

A school bus had a little accident around 4:00 p.m. yesterday. The bus was navigating narrow Hangers Mill Road when it http://www.flickr.com/photos/laffy4k/2215512858/drove in a ditch and ran into a tree. Hmmm? Wild ride home anyone? The kids were all okay and the driver is not being sited or charged. I find this odd. If you crashed my baby into a tree I would want you charged with something. Details about the cause of the accident were not disclosed. (This is NOT an Actual Photo from the Accident)

cVillain Gets A Mention on a Computer4Kids TV Spot

Check out the video.  We got a mention because we selected Computers4Kids as our charity winner during our Space Party.  We are a “blogging site,” which is a pretty cool, I guess. They did get the link, the pronunciation and the type (kinda) of site wrong, but it’s all good.

I just hope that none of the kids actually visit our site.

Ugh, babies…

Some people eat babies. I love a good dead baby joke. But what’s not funny, is the number of people I know having babies. My sister is pregnant. Two of my coworkers are pregnant. It seems it’s happening to a lot of people. But here’s the thing, all of the pregnant people I know in Charlottesville are in their 30’s. Charlottesville seems to be immune to the “we’re southern, we should get married and have kids while we’re still really young” syndrome.

My wife and I, both grew up just down the road in Richmond. A large majority of our Richmond friends have children already. Some have multiple. They all got married in their early to mid 20’s and started shooting out babies within a few years. When we go home, all people talk about is their kids and when are Gobblette and I planning on having our own? The answer is “back the F off.” There is a lot of unecessary pressure in that town, which was a big reason we decided not to live there.

Before moving here, we lived in NYC, where there’s absolutely no pressure for anyone to get married before the age of 30, or have any children at all. We liked that. There’s a similar laissez-faire attitude about starting a family here, too, I feel. Are we alone in that, or is it just the people I know that make it seem that way?
