This is the ninth Friday of 2023 leaving 43 left to go. What will happen on each of those days, as well as the other days that happen between? Perhaps there is too much to write down each day and no way to capture it all. Perhaps the effort should be made anyway. After all, this is Charlottesville Community Engagement and I’m the host and producer, Sean Tubbs. On today’s string-of-beads: * A committee of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors approve concepts for the new Biotechnology

The date informs us it is the second day of March, which is also a day to recognize the mental wellness of our community members who are in their teens. World Teen Mental Wellness Day is intended to raise awareness of resources for those coming of age in a time when so much is uncertain and stressful. This is Charlottesville Community Engagement which seeks to allay stress that comes from not knowing about what’s happening in local and regional government. I’m Sean Tubbs, hopeful that one day we’ll

Somehow we find ourselves marching into a new month, when perhaps the last one needed a few more days to tie up all of the loose ends. Yet life in this third decade of the 21st century does not work like that, and nothing ever seems to stop long enough to write all of it down. But this is Charlottesville Community Engagement, which really strives to capture as many pebbles as possible to depict whatever mosaic I can knowing full well there may at times appear to be missing pieces. I’m Sean Tubbs. On

Another rare Saturday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement is upon us, as there were too many distractions to complete the work on Friday. It is the hope to one day have each and every episode come out at a consistent time. Each installment of the program is a test of the orbital mechanics that would be required to attain that goal. I’m Sean Tubbs and I know again there is much in the universe to observe and I’m hoping to always expand the capacity to do so. On today’s edition: * A former

There are less than six days left to enjoy whatever it is that you enjoy about February. Brevity? The lack of a fifth day? The only month that begins with an F? Either way, soon this year will turn two months old, or a sixth of a way through. Is there a way to determine if time is moving faster, or is that something to ask a philosopher about? These are not the subjects of this episode of Charlottesville Community Engagement, which is more concerned with documenting some of the items that have

What do we have after Presidents’ Day? Why, it’s Pancake Day! Others may note this 24-hour period as Fat Tuesday. But the real thing to sound off on today is that this is the 500th edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, which means that fans of Roman numerals would give it a D. I’m Sean Tubbs, and I’ll keep going with this experiment until I think it’s ready to really start the show.

Or perhaps you want to explore the world around you on this National Public Science Day? Do remember also it is Random Act of Kindness Day. Finally, Who Shall I Be Day?

Going by the months, we are now 3/24ths of the way through 2023. How does that measure up mathematically? It’s the 45th day of the year, meaning we are 12.6 percent of the way to 2024. Who’s counting? I’m Sean Tubbs, host and producer of Charlottesville Community Engagement. This is somehow the 498th edition of this program, created to bring information to the community that otherwise was not being assembled. And if the math doesn’t work out? Help me check it.

How do the wheels of the bus go round? How is the community squaring a desire for a more robust public transit system with the existing logistics? There are no direct answers to those questions in this or any other edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, but this particular episode will inform you of some current thoughts by movers and those who tell the movers what to do. I’m your host, Sean Tubbs, somehow remembering a Ratt song… what comes around goes around. But will it get you there on

So far, there have been six Wednesdays in the year 2023, but which one is this? How can we be sure that they have all happened in order? One way is to mark down time as often as possible. Perhaps in a regular newsletter and podcast that seeks to inform readers and listeners about things they might not otherwise know? Perhaps something called Charlottesville Community Engagement? I’ll Sean Tubbs, fairly certain that this Wednesday is February 8.On today’s show:* Another shooting in Charlottesville

The first Monday of February does not come with any special remarks, treats, or rules. This particular one is called February 6 and my handy-dandy reference guide to imaginary holidays indicates this may be Pay a Compliment Day.This is perhaps a time I should exclaim my notion that the audience of Charlottesville Community Engagement is made of a wonderful assemblage of human beings and likely at least one example of artificial intelligence. Always flatter Hal. On today’s show:* UVA Health is one

If you are seeing this on the day it was published, yes, this is a Saturday. And this is a Saturday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. There are only a few of these in the two and a half year existence of this newsletter and podcast, and I apologize in advance there are no fun extras that come with publication on a weekend. No horoscopes, no comics, no puzzles. Only another in a long series of bulletins about informational happenings produced by myself, Sean Tubbs. On today’s program:*

While it may seem like this is the same newsletter and podcast over and over again, it will be unlike any other of the 492 other editions. It will be the 493rd and it will have its own distinct flavor. Which may be odd because as far as I know, there’s no way to convey narrative through the taste buds. But Charlottesville Community Engagement is intended to do what it can for aural and visual pathways. I’m the host, Sean Tubbs, still hesitant to experiment with an olfactory version of the

We are now at day 32 of the year 2023, a milestone otherwise known as February. There’s no need to leap this year, but looking first is always advised no matter the circumstances. This is Charlottesville Community Engagement, an independent newsletter intended to bring you a few things about local and regional government for you to see for yourself. I’m Sean Tubbs.

There’s no way to write down all of what has happened in the thirty days since 2022 melted into the past, but the hope of every installment of Charlottesville Community Engagement is intended to capture as much as possible.

If you know anyone who is Scots, bolster your knowledge of their culture by letting them know it is Burns Night. This is the day in 1759 when Robert Burns was born, but not the day he started writing poetry. Perhaps somewhere out there, someone will write something today that will be remembered two hundred years from now. It likely won’t be this installment of Charlottesville Community Engagement. So let’s just go with a bit of Burns:But Mousie, thou art no thy-lane,In proving foresight may be

Information compiled by humans can be flawed and it is incumbent upon the independent journalist to do as much as possible to be correct and accurate. Systems must be in place to ensure that the information received by the reader and listener is correct, which means rigorous checks and cross-checks. For instance, I have checked multiple times to ensure that this is January 24, 2023, I’m Sean Tubbs, and this is in fact another edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement.
