Opinion Where there’s smoke03/05/14 - 8:47 am > Tom's Column
Does mere chance drive events in this world? Or do things happen for a reason? This week, Virginia Gov.

The Virginia legislature is in session, which means confusion is in the air, sorta like the five-day weather forecast. Case in point: Sunday hunting.
