'Twas a magnificent day on the course.  How can I complain about anything in  life when I have friends with whom to play at the Virginia Tech course.

Antennas

The side of the water tank seems to be multifunctional for several utilities.

Line is still holding

Vines have been pulling this line down for about a year.  I guess the line is stronger.

Looking finished

Renovation of the Black House is looking finished.

Info signs

New signs to help visitors find what they need in downtown.  I think us "locals" know, but maybe the community is so dynamic that information is always good.
