When Mayor Scott Foster ran unopposed for a second term as mayor of Hendersonville, I doubt he expected to get every single vote. Surely there would be some write-in votes cast for various community members. But I somehow doubt he expected to lose votes to Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Kerry Collins, Dave Ramsey, & Mike Ditka. A total [...]

Actual text of a Gallatin Craigslist ad: “traffic light this is a real working traffic light, sorry no pics but it is in excellent condition…” Um, you not allowed to just take those things. I think they’re important or something. In fact, now that I think about it, I’m darn-near positive you can’t just take stoplights down whenever you [...]

Actual headline: “Voters go to the polls.” Enlightening. The Pulitzer line is to your right.

What the heck is up with this? Pay with a credit card at Dodge’s Store in Hendersonville, and you’ll be charged $0.02 more per gallon. I’m sure this is just a way for the gas station to cover a recent increase in the processing fees the credit card companies charge them. Sheesh, must every single added cost-of-doing-business [...]

Found this scary-looking insect dead outside my front door this morning and it freaked me out. What the heck is this thing? It has a strange set of ridges at its head, with a pointy beak/stinger/antenna thing for a nose–sorry if the picture doesn’t do it justice. I tried to use my key chain to [...]

This is the first installment in a new series of articles, People Who Drive Me Crazy. (I wanted to call it, “You Know Who I Hate?”, but was told that might be too harsh for some of my readers. So I softened it a bit.) This series of articles is a way for me to vent [...]

Of all the things in life that motivate people, I would have to think that free walnuts is pretty low on the list. Maybe I’m just out of touch. Maybe walnuts are the new cool-kid currency at school; like Pogs, only edible. A recent Sumner County Craigslist Ad reads: Free Walnuts for the taking…..in my back yard!! (White [...]

Please oh please oh please, sir, can we have some apples? And not just some… we actually want tons of ‘em. Gobs, in fact. The text of a recent Sumner County Craigslist ad: “We need APPLES, APPLES, APPLES-WE WILL PICK!! (Gallatin, Tn) We need bushels and bushels of apples to use for a large family. We will pick them, just [...]

Dude, you cannot sell an entire town. This guy’s trying to sell Bethpage or Portland… or both. Have you even asked the citizens of Portland if they want to be sold? I doubt they do. They might, however, allow you to sell a certain school teacher from Portland. Not only is it not possible to sell an [...]

The race for gas is on again, as the panicky idiots merge with the level-headed citizens (who by now actually have empty tanks) at the pumps. Here in Hendersonville, most stations are still without gas. There is an Exxon on 31E at Rockland Road that has lines And there’s a Shell station on Walton Ferry Road that [...]
