How do you feel about Ralph Northam's victory?

[Mr. Smith]

A bit annoyed since it reinforces the wrongs that cost 2016 and 2014, and the I-81 Corridor is gonna be thrown under the bus.

...And how do you lose Nelson Co. as a Democrat? How the heck do you manage that?

[Mr. Smith]

Could you say more about your opposition to the I-81 corridor?

Too many trucks. I like driving on roads where there isn't a 20% of getting jackknifed at any moment. Plus while the Shenandoah Valley is gorgeous during the fall, I find it mostly dreary and lifeless the rest of the time.

More dreary and lifeless than the flat, muggy, swampland and grassland and buildings that look so temporary and haphazardly placed [Utah also has this problem]?

Also, what's wrong with all the blossoming dogwoods in the Spring? Or the storybook depiction winter when it snows?
