Today, I learned the Webster County CVB operates a Woodchopping and Timber Heritage Museum at its office in Webster Springs. Unfortunately, it's only open business hours Monday-Friday. visitwebsterwv.com/explore/w…

Thanks. I'm in Morgantown and normally see ~950ish up and down over wired w/ gig. Ping times and speeds in tests are being all over the place tonight. Hopefully it's just some temporary weirdness and will be back to normal in morning.

Finished watching the new version of "A Different World." I liked it. A bit rushed since it's only 10 episodes but has nice tie-ins to original season.
I am disappointed they didn't try to do an updated version of the iconic intros from OG Seasons 2-6. youtu.be/I9lVlt5FpYc?si=Q93O…

His mismanagement of university finances helped set "academic transformation" in motion.
Also, his complete inability to read the room didn't help.

Mid-1960s photo of what is now I-68 under construction through Cumberland. You can see how curvy it was going to be. Also, the old B&O depot was still standing in background just off the highway. facebook.com/groups/36375814…
At Prince end of McKendree Road in New River Gorge, WVDOH now signs it as an "Unimproved Road" which I've not seen anywhere else in WV. I suspect increased NRG visitation might have led to people getting stuck. I tried driving from Thurmond end in 2008 and turned back at Thayer.
I-70 is expected to flood at Buckeye Lake (east of Columbus) later this evening. Ramp to SR 79 is flooded now. facebook.com/WBNS10TV/videos…
It's time for an update since WVU classes start tomorrow. The 6 Washington Center courses have a grand total of 5 seats filled, with a number of other sections canceled because nobody enrolled in them.
Recent coverage cites low enrollment in our special topics courses as evidence of failure. We hired our first faculty member six weeks ago, and our permanent courses are still awaiting approval. This is the normal sequence of building an academic center. wcwvu.org/missives/nltayy24s…
