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.

We had an F-5 tornado go through our southern counties and I think that the loss of two lives was a tragedy, but it could of been much worse. Most of the homes that were hit had no one at home, it was about noon so everyone was in school or at work, if it had been at 5pm it would of been a terrible tragedy. We have the problem of not being able to see the coming storms because of the trees and hills. So it is critical to have a good weather radio to keep track of the storms.

The season is over for the Nashville Predators and the long off season starts for players and us fans too. No football no hockey I only have baseball to sate my sports mind until the football draft in a week, I can not wait for the off season news for the football teams, the news never stops for sports teams and their fans. I only wish we had a big league baseball team here in Nashville, we do have a AAA team but I have only been to one game there. We will have to make an effort to attend some Sounds games this year too.
