Wandering, always. Baseball...banjo...brew...back home, down South in Nashville

In honor of Bobby Cox, here’s almost 20 minutes of him getting ejected.

Legend.

Don’t go chasing waterfalls...cautiously approach and be careful of slippery conditions. In fact, you may just want to stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to.

Willie Nelson's Tips to Living a Long Life:

1. I try to eat pretty sensible.
2. Sometimes I’ll get up and shave, and sometimes I won’t.
3. Shut up.
4. Smoke every day.
5. Have a good garden full of vegetables and maybe a freezer full of some good meat.
6. Worrying will make you sick. If you can’t do anything about it, why the hell worry about it?
7. I see the funny side first.
8. Don’t be an asshole. Don’t be an asshole. Don’t be a goddamn asshole.
9. If you’re thinking negative about anything... erase that.
10. Keep your legs crossed, your nose clean, and stay out of trees.
11. We’re all going to die. There’s not a lot we can do about it. If you hear of anything, let me know.

Nashville received 13.57” of rain on May 1-2, 2010. The flooding that followed devastated our city and the Middle Tennessee area.

I lived on a hill, in Bellevue, and only lost power. Some neighbors homes had water up to the roofs.

What are your memories from that time?

[Ryman Auditorium @theryman]

Historically cool for 134 years today 💒

On this day in 1892, the first notes ever played inside the Ryman kicked off the May Music Festival—transforming the space into a full-scale performance hall practically overnight.

On this day in 404 BC, Sparta defeated Athens, bringing the Peloponnesian War to an end

Boats bring in fans for the first game at Candlestick Park, 1960. San Francisco's brand new ballpark sat right on the edge of the Bay, and on Opening Day, some fans skipped the traffic and arrived by water.

Country music star Johnny Cash has bought the abandoned railroad station at Amqui, pictured here between Madison and Hendersonville on March 2, 1979. Cash plans to move it to a location near his Hendersonville office/studios.

Wrigley Field Ivy being planted, 1937. The Cubs attempted to grow the ivy on the outside of Wrigley Field as well, but the plantings were often stolen, so the plans were abandoned.

How it feels to be in the world right now

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I know this somehow fell out of the news...

...but there are STILL almost 100,000 people in Nashville TN without power.

This is pretty wild footage of a power-pole snapped in half and just floating in mid-air.

Praying for Nashville today.

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war."
