I know politics is not a popular subject at this site, however, everyone should be aware that Congress is about to vote on the massive government take over of our health care.
As it stands now, it appears that Senators Webb and Warner will vote in favor of the take over and Rep. Goodlatte will vote nay.
Regardless of your position on this subject, it in all our best interests to contact these gentlemen and provide guidance. All three men have repeatedly shown that they will vote their respective party line rather than vote the will of the people.
This take over is much too important to let Congress do as they please. It will affect us forever.

So the Harrisonburg Times is going to become a new newspaper, or media source, or something. As a libertarian, I wish them well. Our First Amendment means that anyone is entitled to freedom of expression, including the Friendly City’s mayor and associates.

I hope they’ll be able to overcome the tendency for a government-friendly publication to be dull, dull, dull. Perhaps actually trying to do news coverage will give them a little humility, too. If you look at their first post, you’ll find that Harrisonburg Times feels itself worthy not only to praise local media outlets such as the DNR, TV3 and WSVA, but also to tell us all what’s wrong with them. Who appointed them to be the local media critic? Why, the mayor, of course.

Remember a few years ago, there was preliminary plans for a Food Lion out on 257 near the Rescue Sq. Whatever happened to that plan? Every town in the U.S. has Food Lion but us. Heck, I bet Mt. Solon will get one before Bridgewater.

Because of the snow, Turner Ashby’s presentation of Les Misérables has been rescheduled for February 26-27-28 and March 1. Information on the show is available at http://webfc.rockingham.k12.va.us/~sweaver/ACTIVITIES/Musical/SHOW_INFO.htm . (Your webmaster looked in on rehearsal today and the kids were showing a lot of energy and hard work.) I’d just like to encourage locals to support TA’s theater program by coming out for this one.

I’m sick of all this snow…it’s about to drive me nuts! Hurry up Spring!!! Enough is enough!

Can’t you just see me grinning….. I like snow, I like snow… I like snow…. I can tolerate snow….

Just for fun, we’re having a poll on your favorite pizza in Bridgewater. The entrants are: Bob-a-Rea’s, Domino’s, Francesco’s,  New York Flying Pizza, Papa John’s, Perfect Pizza and Sergio’s. (Did I leave anybody out? If so, that’s quickly corrected — just let me know). After you have voted in the poll, post your comments at Bridgewater Buzz.

This is not a scientific poll and for entertainment purposes only. Poll location: Upper right corner of http://bridgewaterva.com/newbuzz. Thanks to mcgill for the suggestion. Future polls will cover subs and other specialties.

Webmaster,
Was reading the comments on Bob-a-Reas (they do have good food) and after a less than stellar meal at one of the other eateries in town last night, I thought a poll about Bridgewater’s restaurants might be fun. Are they difficult to set up? If so, never mind. It could be broken down in to categories such as sandwiches, pizza and meals.

Gee, just two days after the last of the ice & snow melted off our deck, here we go again. 4″ and counting.
