Happy first day of Virginia's General Assembly session!
Because it's an odd year, this year's session is a "short," -- just 45 days. Lots to get done, not much time to do it.
Even "long" sessions (in even years) are just 60 days. These sessions are typically supplemented with meetings of committees and working groups during the rest of the year, and sometimes even a special session, but still -- not much time to conduct the Commonwealth's business.
Also, this year marks the 400th year of Virginia's House (née of Burgesses, now of Delegates). Pretty pretty cool.
...and yes it's basically every Virginian's obligation to remind everyone else that our representative state government is older than your representative state government.
...and it's my obligation to use ALF gifs as often as possible
