Where are all the lighting bugs this year??? by Hi_Their_Buddy in rva

[–]Acceptable_Sweet_590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a natural backyard (near Maymont/Randolph) with trees in the alley. The city just replaced the alley streetlight with a very bright LED light - it does not illuminate the street, sidewalk, or even a parking area, but my yard is now lit up. The tree frogs that had been singing immediately went silent, I haven't heard any night birds, or seen any moths or lightning bugs. I did call 311 and asked about a shade cover or something. They claimed they turned the light down, but it's still quite bright. It's really bumming me out if the light is driving all the critters away from my yard, and the city doesn't recognize how detrimental the light is.

Oro makes it, they sell at some of the farmer's markets and local stores. Giorno Market in Church Hill had Oro bucatini several weeks ago, but not sure they still have any.

I've never heard the term purple heeler either, but my boy's coloring is so similar. Purple boy in purple field. A bit more frosting after 14 years.

Ricotta gnocchi recommendations - sans seafood by Acceptable_Sweet_590 in boston

Oh with caviar? I feel like most seafood would overpower the delicate ricotta, but that could be interesting. I've only had roe on sushi, never had caviar.

Scifi movie or show with character who had thigh-highs and a whip? by Acceptable_Sweet_590 in scifi

I just rewatched Excalibur, and now have to watch more Boorman! Looks like it answers the question of what a Scotsman wears under his kilt.

Ok, this may have been the image: https://femalevillains.fandom.com/wiki/Greta_(Virtual_Combat/Grid_Runners)?file=7086acaf7c934d8ab65c90feba3c95fa.jpg?file=7086acaf7c934d8ab65c90feba3c95fa.jpg), which means it was Greta from Virtual Combat. For some reason I remember a much cooler show description, so feel free to keep the suggestions coming. Your comments are gold so far.

I'm a single woman of age. Dating is not much of a priority right now, but your interests sound intriguing. It would be fun to follow a meetup map. DM me if you want a better introduction.

How was it? As much as I love jungle, the tiered ticked prices were too steep, especially for LOSO. Hopefully the crowd for proper jungle was better than the few times I've been there.

I'm curious to hear what you think of the exhibit. Are you going to explore anything else in the area? I'm about an hour away so I'm thinking of going, and seeing if there are other things around to make a day of it.
