LPT for those building out or adding gear to a home recording/production studio: you always need a couple more cables than you thought you’d need.

I just learned that Raul Malo has passed. (He had been fighting illness.)

One of the great voices has been silenced.

I will be listening to The Mavericks and Raul solo today.

The parks were intended for everyone. The holidays are opportunities to make our parks and our history a part of growing up.

Help us get the word out to the superintendents. If this administration won't life em up, we will.

Keep MLK day and Juneteenth no fee days.

Its the right thing to do.

Chattanooga and surrounding area folks, here is a petition to save Enterprise South Nature Park from industrial development encroachment. I signed it, and hope you will too.

All eyes are on Montgomery County, Tennessee today! (As well as Davidson, of course, and some others…where are my Ashland City friends?)

Special election in #TN07 will be decided tonight!

Thanks to all who have supported, volunteered, and, most importantly, VOTED! Go vote if you haven’t.

🗳️✅🙏

Y'all. I may be smoking the hopium, but this report struck me with an energy about the future that I haven't felt in a while. Read it, if you haven't already. Contact your reps (which in Tennessee feels useless, but still, do it).

And in #TN07, please vote for Aftyn Behn on Tuesday, December 1st!!

Anyone else feel the need to make a timeline chart with swimlanes and milestones to plan their Thanksgiving prep-cook-dress-serve system? Or, if you like your time vertical, I suppose an old Gantt chart would do.

Just me? Yeah, just me nerding.

OK that historical drama about Charles Guiteau and James Garfield was pretty good.

Now someone do one on Czolgosz and McKinley.

I just picked an anniversary show to listen to; no real reason to pick that one.

Surprise “Sunrise.” No way!

Man, a year ago we were making hot dish and curry, wearing pearls and plaid, and watching TikToks of Republican women casting early voting ballots for the candidates their husbands wouldn’t want them to.

Something very strange and wrong happened on election night. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but 🤷🏻‍♂️.
