Time Machine will rock Third Thursday
One of the highlights of my first year in Culpeper was the Third Thursday Summer Concert Series, sponsored by Culpeper Renaissance, Inc.
This year CRI has expanded the series to a fourth session, with the first coming May 15. Judging from the band that will kick it all off, it should be a blast.
Time Machine, a Washington-area 10-piece band that plays everything from beach music to Motown will be back again. In the past the group has stole the show and had people dancing all night.

Joining Time machine on opening night will be the Eli Cook with the blues. He looks more like he a refugee from Tony Hawke’s skateboard tour, but when he plays it’s nothing but the blues.
It all happens down by the Depot in Culpeper from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and $5 advance tickets are available at the Culpeper Renaissance office at 233 East Davis Street Suite 100, Chateau du Reaux at 219 East Davis Street Suite 130, the Museum of Culpeper History at 803 South Main Street, and Randy’s Flowers at 211 West Evans Street. Tickets may also be purchased at the gate on the day of the event for $7 for those and older; those under 21 receive free admission.
ALMOST GONE: Ever feel lucky to be alive? There have been many times that I knew that there was a higher power looking out for me.
But I guess I never realized that was just lucky to be here in the first place.
I saw this headline on CNN today: Humans nearly wiped out 70,000 years ago, study says.
