I offer the monks' blessing, although I am a Christian: May all beings be happy, healthy, and at peace.

My daughter and I went. Big turn out there for mikes up and down Route 1.

May all be beings be healthy, happy, and at peace.

also Lee bridge? Why is that name still used.

Every one of those badges represents a community the has embraced them.

Police and Sheriff offices started giving them badges and pins now each one does. They are getting a tremendous amount of support from law enforcement operations each one coordinating with the next. We saw them south of here in Chesterfield Co Sunday. There were 7 or 8 police vehicles keeping their path clear.

Neither one of those is worth fighting ATM.

Richmond is the only city I know of that has class 4 rapids within its city limits. Class 3 in the downtown area pretty much where that Lee Bridge is in that picture.

Also not that far from one of the worst chemical spills into a river in US history.

Beautiful people. Nice as state capitals go. Love Richmond.

Many times down at Belle Island.

Kepone - Allied Chemical - in Hopewell. Made in a former gas station off their regular plant. People couldn’t fish the river for long spans for decades.





Side Effects/Toxicity: Acute exposure causes tremors, headaches, severe nervous system damage ("Kepone shakes&quot , and liver damage. Chronic exposure is associated with reproductive dysfunction and is classified as a possible human carcinogen.
Environmental Impact: It is highly persistent, contaminating soil, groundwater, and marine life for decades, notably in the French Caribbean, where it caused a major ecological scandal.
Production & Use: Produced by Allied Chemical (beginning in 1966) and manufactured by Life Science Products in Hopewell, VA, where negligent disposal poisoned workers and the ecosystem.

I actually worked for Allied Signal for as an IT contractor at their main campus there in Richmond. People were nice but hated that job. Being there I was always freaked out and nervous. They had these horns that would signal for issues. If it sounded two series of 9 horn blasts, and you were within the sound of those horns, that meant you were already dead and just didn't know it yet.
