slip-n-slide
In a shameless effort to promote business, I recommend all Lynchburg locals to tirelessly throw your coffee-cash towards the Daily Grind in Wyndhurst. “Why, on earth.. ?” you ask. Because they are the only coffeehouse in the area that provides free wireless internet access to its customers. Once the other, few, shops around here realize that business is funneling away from them, they will be sure to clue-in (although hints and properly-submitted suggestion cards will help). “Wi-Fi” is the next necessity in this thriving, technological consumer market. Daily Grind.. Daily Grind…
As if I was supposed to flawlessly segue here, Allison and I met up Friday evening at the Daily Grind for some catching up. Oh you know, the usual - how school, home-life, out-of-home-life, relationships, extracurriculars, and such are going. She eventually grabbed my Mac from me and had a field trip while I took pictures of the bustling DG atmosphere. [A side note: if the DG seems unnaturally crowded, you are exactly correct; and rest assured that I have already submitted my recommendation to add more seating to the vicinity] Later on, we went back to her place to look at photos both old an new. Catching up is wonderful, delightful, and a necessity to maintaining fulfilling, long-distance friendships.
I finished Who’s Looking Out for You? in the same period of time that it took me to read Stupid White Men. O’Reilly has an honest and respectable expression of his opinions and provides common sensical advice for people of all types. This is the type of solution-bearing that I wish Moore would have included; however, directors are generally either known for recluse ideals or vehement endeavors, the latter being Moore’s ambition. But returning, Looking Out for You is fascinating and, for me, enthralling. I noticed no “conservative slant” to his writings; actually, this book took on no political tone at all, it was more of a guide-book to making sure things swing well with you throughout life.
For record-keeping purposes, I’m right now at the L-burg Starbucks. And I swear to you that Bob Villa just walked in. I’m not kidding; he’s even wearing that large parka to hide the ubiquitous toolbelt, I bet. Somehow, I feel honored and redeemed from this bleak Sunday. Oh no, he just left. Here goes another spiralling depression.

I know this comment is super old (and thus, will be very marginal) but the European Cafe right down from the street from the DG has free wifi.
I’m with you, why don’t more businesses (besides Rub’s) have this low cost, nerd grabbing feature?
