Now that they&#8217;ve (sorta) announced what they&#8217;re going for, the game is on. It&#8217;s been 3.5 years since Matt Leonard and his team has hit a home run in economic development The pressure was already building and if nothing comes out of these announced prospects, yeesh! Meanwhile, Jeff Reed is sitting back chuckling.<\/li>\n<li>That was a long and probably not-so-RandomThought. Feh, who cares?<\/li>\n<li>Zaxby&#8217;s? Yum! Thursdays, it&#8217;s 99 cent Nibblerz sandwiches all day long.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of Thursday, &#8220;Tunes at the Saloon&#8221; brings Matt Crowder to Texas Steakhouse from 6 to 9 PM. SouthsideCentral will be there, so come join us!<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s the week of the National Spelling Bee. Did you know that there was a Danville connection to a past champion? Ned Andrews won in 1994 and was an assistant commonwealth&#8217;s attorney in Danville for a while after graduating from law school. Ned&#8217;s National Spelling Bee appearance was hilariously mocked on an episode of ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;Cheap Seats&#8221;. Ned also went on to set a record for answering 49 questions correctly as a Mob member on &#8220;1 vs. 100&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s hard to understand how the Danville bus system works if you have no idea to begin with.<\/li>\n<li>I still listen to WBTM&#8217;s 1330AM signal when I want to catch the local news. The FM signal is erratic at times.<\/li>\n<li>The new CEO of Danville Regional Medical Center, Alan Larson, is under a lot of pressure to be an Eric Deaton clone to the community very quickly. He&#8217;s also under pressure not to be an Eric Deaton clone to a lot of the hospital employees.<\/li>\n<li>Matt Bell is a great photographer. Web hosting space is cheap. The Register &amp; Bee should post large galleries of his event photos on their website instead of less than 20 (and rarely that many).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s some RandomThoughts! for Tuesday.
