I know it is the summer season and I know it is going to be hot and humid here in the south but this last week has been horrific. It has been very hot with a terrible humidity and I am not doing very well in this stew pot we have going on here in Nashville. The A/C in my truck just stopped working and every day I am a wet mess when I get home from work. I need to get it fixed and soon or I might just melt in the heat before fall gets here. I do not worry to much about the cold of winter, we have very mild winters but the summer season here is hat and humid two things I have had enough of this year.

The wonderful state of Tennessee has decided to close one of the busiest freeways in Nashville over the weekend. This has made if very hard for me to do my job. In our delivery business we use I-40 a lot and it is the way we get to several of our biggest accounts. If I can not make it my delivery sites in the time we have set I could lose their business. It is foolish to close a busy Interstate road to make repairs to a bridge that could be done at night. Just another way to harm the small business man here in Nashville.

This week the streets of Nashville have been filled with tourists and with some streets closed it has been very hard to get around and get any work done. Not every business in Nashville caters to the tourist and they simply get in the way of people trying to make a living. I had several times I was dispatched to Broadway and could not get my work done in a timely manner because of all the tourists in the way. I for one will be glad when the CMA junk is done and the tourists go home.

It is a sad day when a jet filled with vacationers just disappears and no sign is found of the plane. Today they started to find some of the bodies from the downed jet and I wonder if they will all ever be found. It would be a very sad day to think one of your friends or relatives was missing with little or no hope of finding their body to put it to rest with the rest of your family, I do not think I would handle something like that very well. God Bless the families of the folks on the doomed plane and I hope your family is found and put to rest soon.

Summer is on a fast track to be here very soon and I for one can not wait. The summer season is when we have the most fun and do the most interesting things. This summer we have plans to take our grandson to the beach as soon as he finishes his swimming lessons that he is taking at the YMCA. The YMCA has a great program to teach city kids how to swim, in the country where I grew up you had no option you got thrown in and it was sink or swim, I am sure glad I did not sink.
