So much to blog about and so little time… Unfortunately, my wife suffered a death in the family, and we have to travel to South Carolina today to attend the funeral. I will have no time to blog today.

If I did, I would dearly like to turn my attention to Gov. Timothy M. Kaine’s announcement of budget cuts — and the Republican response to the effect that, “We told you so.” (Readers of Bacon’s Rebellion may recall that we blogged this spring about those very concerns.)

If I had the time, I would read, absorb and report upon Virginia’s new rail plan as well.

If I can sneak away during the wee hours of the morning and tap into the Hampton Inn’s Internet connection, you may hear from me yet!
