Tennessee Sounds Good To Me
From Bartlett Grove Park–Another Naked Idiot
I’ve commented here before about how stupid you must be to allow someone to film you naked and not keep the one and only copy for yourself. Common sense risk management should tell you that it may end up on the internet. But letting someone photograph or film your privates in a public place with [...]
Best Post About Running…EVER!
I don’t know why, but the other day I thought about a post I read on a running message board a few years ago. When I read this post I immediately copied it and pasted it into an email to myself because: (1) It is one of the funniest and most insane things I’ve ever [...]
Irony–Labor Day Nixed By a Union
The blogosphere is abuzz about Tyson Chicken’s new contract with its labor union that eliminates Labor Day as a paid holiday and replaces it with a Muslim holiday, Eid al-Fitr for the plant in Shelbyville, TN. How ironic that a union eliminated a union holiday! On one hand, I have to cheer the fact that [...]
AdMobile No Longer Mobile
But it still exists. Now, however, it’s called The Billboard Truck. About four years ago, the Admobile took Knoxville by storm. Everybody was talking about it. This was long before diesel prices skyrocketed to unsightly heights. This was before the scare tactic formerly known as Global Warming decided it wanted to be called Climate Change. [...]
Without Being Told (or Forced)
I drove up to the boonies to help a friend move today. Actually, I drove up through hell Gatlinburg to get to his new place on top of the mountain. On the way back I took the backroads in order to avoid the traffic and enjoy the scenic drive. Something really cool happened on the [...]
School Choice in Nashville
There’s a cool event going on at the Nashville Zoo next Thursday for those in the midstate area. The 2008 Friedman Legacy Event is a free event presented by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research in support of homeschool, charter school, and private school rights. They’re even providing chaperones so that your kids can have [...]
Let’s Call it Two Million Hundred Dollars
Maybe that would have been an easier PR sell for the UT Athletic Department. Then they’d only be dealing with hundreds of dollars instead of millions. That may be a little easier for people to swallow. And this facility is used how many times a year? Seven? Let’s be generous and call it ten since [...]
Chemical Spill Shows Us the Sequatchie Valley
We didn’t pay much any attention to the news while visiting the midstate over the weekend, and were really surprised to find I-40 east closed from Cookville to Knoxville because of a chemical spill. There are a couple of ways to react to something like this. One is to kick yourself in the ass for [...]
Parenting for Adults
When (if) my kid(s) decide to go to college as adults, I expect they’ll do some pretty stupid things during the first couple of years and beyond. To me, making mistakes and dealing with the consequences are important aspects of the learning process; part of acquiring an education. Luckily, the State of Tennessee now has [...]
They Keep Embarrasing Us
Citizens of the great State of Tennessee continue to be embarrassed by the unfair attacks on Democratic President Barack Obama. When will the Tennessee Republican Democratic Party lay off of this poor guy? He’s only trying to give us change. Politicians eating their own isn’t any kind of change.
