there’s so much snow, they are using front-end loaders and dump trucks to move the snow to the river bank creating this ice-burg effect…
outside right now , I can hear the workers using heavy equipment to scoop up and haul away tons of snow while most of the city sleeps…

Back home in the ‘ville, the trial of the century is ongoing. I have been following it on Twitter. It is interesting to read the perspective of the local and out-of-town reporters. One article made the ‘ville sound like a tiny burg with 40k people. UM, there are 20k students at UVa and 100k+ in Albemarle’s urban ring, HELLO! It’s not Gordonsville… but anyway… the trial has made the headlines and has even been heard of over here and people say: “that’s where you live?” … yup… wow, I can’t imagine what parking is like around downtown now… or the wait at Bizou or Christian’s…
This trial has also raised fresh questions about violence in America and why America is so much more violent than Europe (well, maybe England is catching up with USA in this respect) and other places… But this is an old question for me as I travel around outside the USA… indeed, I was asked yesterday why we are so much more violent? availability of weapons? media? history? what? what do you think?
