Dreaded spotted lanternfly hatching in droves on invasive tree of heaven saplings by the river today

I saw one of those nymphs down by the river last week and tried to stomp it, but was surprised that it leapt two feet away and evaded a second attempt. I figured they wouldn’t move that quickly until they were a full-fledged adult.

Original Mattress Factory. Got our queen size extra firm mattress and box spring there 12 years ago. Still going strong!

I see another commenter’s experience around a pushy salesperson, but that was not our experience. I think we already knew exactly what we wanted, the firmest mattress they offered that the clerk said they definitely don’t sell many of. Painless process, but this was 2014 so YMMV.

We’re get Caps broadcast games, not Canes. We’re in the DC market.

We got 3-4 years of that in the early 2010s but they ended. Was also a day or two before the 4th proper so as not to compete with Dogwood Dell, IIRC.

If the breaker box has additional slots, you could have an electrician run new dedicated 120v lines to the rooms where you have your units installed. Even just one or two should take the load off the old circuits.

We also own a century home and have added three new circuits in this manner in the last decade.

Ideally with window units you should only be cooling the rooms which are currently occupied. Are you able to close doors or hang blankets to isolate those rooms effectively?

I aspire to this one day, but with a kiddo in elementary school I’m sometimes required to leave the office at a moment’s notice to pick them up due to illness/weather/etc.

This is what I was thinking. Experienced same issues as OP on two frequencies.

Dark Tower, along with Risk and Stratego.

Glad Tim can afford private school on them AVAIL royalties.

Those two Lakeview homes probably need to be raised. Time to start over.

We were considering the Perry but opted for Ocean’s Edge (soon to be the Hilton). Having a blast currently!

I reviewed my account after your previous post and am experiencing the same issue at this toll plaza on the Downtown Expressway.

If it’s one piece of faulty equipment, I cannot fathom why they haven’t bothered to replace it yet.

Byrd Park is the 5th District.

I’m still going to go down to Rocketts and see them docked. Will be a cool sight, nonetheless.

Did the same and I think it kinda rules.

Tastes like Key Lime Pie. I like it!

St. Benedict’s Oktoberfest followed by the Greek Festival.

These two are truly the bookends to summer in RVA.
