Blacksburg is humming once again. This past week was move in, and the parade of cars, u-haul trailers, garment racks, appeared like so many spring snakes from a fake can of peanuts. The town is beginning to wake up from its Summer torpor. New students are trying out their social calendars and their new high performance flip-flops as they travel from place to place in their new groups.
Maybe it was the weather keeping things lower keyed? Blacksburg Summers are famous for mid 80’s partly cloudy days, and cool mid 60’s nights that end in foggy humid mornings.
