Exactly. My blood runs apathetic.

Watching CBS Sunday Morning segment about the struggle to get a Desert Storm Memorial in D.C., and I'm reminded how much Gen X is just not thought about in this country.

Odd number with Body President coming from within makes perfect option for tie breaking. So 11 or 13 (10 or 12 voting). Otherwise, if Body President continues to be a separate office, an even number of CMs is ideal.

Just seeing this nine days later, but I’m going to take this in the context of you *always* agreeing with me.

If I were a moral and Christ-following Republican in the legislature I may want to push back on the Governor. Jesus would feed needy children. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Crews worked way faster than expected, and they anticipate they will have the road back open before 1pm! Thank you to our Metro workers for always coming through for us!

Morning! In Inglewood (part of D7) Gallatin at Greenland (near the fire station) is closed for the next ~8 hours. Huge tanker spill. All crews are on site (Fire, OEM, MNPD, TDEC) and the spill is contained. None of it went into the water supply.

Annual donation hit my bank this week and I didn’t recognize it. Looked it up and got a warm, fuzzy feeling when I realized it was the @tennesseelookout.com. Worth every penny. Donate today.

Long term closure would be disastrous for East Nashville and Downtown. Potentially massive safety and quality of life issue. Working to get more certainty here.

ICE spotted in Inglewood. D7 has a large immigrant population, plus ICE targets Home Depot and we have one of those. If you see ICE call Music City MigraWatch 615-933-8409.

You should see my inbox for past couple of years. No recall efforts 🀣 but plenty of bickering.

It’s temporary, and at this point, pretty much when NDOT offers in these needed locations, I accept. Then we make permanent changes. I don’t think LiDAR will remain but it may gather data for the engineers in the short term.

Correction: will be replaced Monday. LiDAR will also be placed then.

Trump must be happy about that as he continues to paint the country white.

Change it to Van Epstein just like the change to Andy Pinocchiogles.

You are correct. NDOT should have them back up today.

Btw, seeking Ring footage. NDOT will file police report for destruction of public property!
