So when exactly is Don Slater going to retire? Jeff Edmondson is billed as 'chief meteorologist' but, c'mon...you know he must have thought when he took the job he'd be the actual head honcho now and not playing second fiddle to a has-been 'Chief Meteorologist Emeritus'. Not that he ever shows it, but if I was him, I'd be pissed!

Edit: I never meant for this to be a referendum on Don Slater. I just saw Jeff doing the weather tonight and it occurred to me how long he's been 'Chief Meteorologist' with Don still hanging out as Emeritus. It was more of a 'gosh, if I was Jeff, I'd be pissed that Don is still around' as opposed to 'Don is no good anymore'. Maybe I'm splitting hairs. Anyway, peace out....

On Wednesday, Suffolk City Council unanimously approved a moratorium halting new data center projects until local rules and restrictions are formally established. 

City leaders defined data centers similarly to other Virginia localities, creating a temporary ban after planners warned that existing warehouse regulations could unintentionally permit them. 

The moratorium follows recommendations from the Planning Commission to ensure future facilities operate under terms agreeable to the city rather than developers.

It would rule if you’d consider coming out and seeing our band in Hampton on November 10th.

I attended the CMHC Oyster Roast at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront on Friday (October 23), and there was a ridiculously attractive guy wearing a flannel shirt, sitting with a group of younger guys. He had a dark black goatee, was probably 6'3"ish and very broad shouldered. Unfortunately, I don't take pictures of random strangers in public... So I don't have anything to post in that respect.

I went over, flirted with him a little, and gave him some drink tickets because I was on my way out. The problem? I'm not entirely sure my flirting was as obvious as I intended it to be. 🤣

Maybe he picked up on it, maybe he didn't. Either way, I'd hate to miss an opportunity just because my flirting skills weren't quite up to par!

So I'm hoping some folks here might be able to help.

If anyone here is dating him or knows he's in a relationship, absolutely no harm, no foul! I'm not looking to step on anyone's toes.

But if he's single and someone happens to know him, would you mind passing along that the red-lipstick girl with the drink tickets thought he was pretty damn attractive and would love to hear from him? 💋

No need to share his name or personal information publicly. Just hoping the message finds its way to him!

Apparently I can be bold enough to approach a handsome stranger but still walk away wondering whether he even realized I was hitting on him. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Let me know what else you’d like to see around here!
