I'm Baaack....

(Special thanks to my guest blogger, although he must have gotten bored or run out of things to talk about since he ain't posted anything in 4 days....)


This will be a multi-day storyline line since I have a lot to talk about. However, I will tell you the things I learned about Tennessee:


1. Speed limits are merely advisory in nature since absolutely no one follows them.

2. No open container law. That means that anyone in the car can drink liquor so long as the driver isn't. That right there makes TN the best state in the nation.

3. Yes, Virginia, you can buy your fireworks and liquor at the same store.

4. The residents have a fine sense of humor as evidenced by the signs I saw:


a. "Mothers Nursing Supplies: Breast Pump Rental and Sales."

b. "Keith's Butcher Shop." (located on a hill above a cemetery)

c. "Crazy Ed's"

d. "Marriage is an adventure: Like war."


5. Other things I saw:


a. A PT Cruiser with its back window held on by brown packing tape with the wiper still in it's place.

b. A "do-it-yourself" dental kit at Walmart complete with a dental mirror and hook to scrape the plaque off your teeth.

c. The aforementioned fireworks/liquor/souvenir crap store on the Tennessee-Georgia border. Only in the Deep South can you buy explosives and booze at the same place.

d. Apparently the best way to dispose of your beer bottles is by hanging them in a plastic bag on a stop sign.

Oh, let us not forget the Moon Pie Festival in Bell Buckle, TN. It's going to be held on June 21st. I even bought a shirt.
