There's nothing quite like the first Benchy.

There's nothing quite like the first Benchy.
In the spirit of radical optimism, I'm betting Behn wins, but by a margin so tight it triggers one of those weird archaic 18th century laws where they'll have to balance on a wagon wheel or race a barrel down the Cumberland River.
Nashville (Davidson County)'s early vote came in, and Aftyn Behn destroyed it there 85% to 15%.
That gives Behn a 7% advantage district-wide with 14 of of the 15 counties reporting their early votes.
Now, we wait for the red shift of the Election Day votes—and see where this ends up.

🔊🌊 Great moments with the Scouts this week! We introduced them to our ~50 € hydrophone, handed out units, and dove into citizen-science together. Nothing better than seeing young explorers record their first marine soundscapes. 🐬✨ #OceanScience #CitizenScience 🧪

We cannot confirm that no lithodid has ever eaten a king, but with enough political will, we can do the experiment.

I love the false crabs. They live in a sea of lies.
Mole Crab: neither mole nor crab.
Yeti Crab: neither yeti nor crab.
