I watched the local news tonight. The big local stories - staying hydrated at Bonnaroo and CMA Fan Fair, a drunk driver hit a building in the middle of the night (ironically, it was a law office that handles DUI cases), a wallet was stolen at Wal-mart and the crooks used a credit card, some guy stole high-end sunglasses from Lens Crafters, and a rain retention pond is stinky because the algae is thick and stagnant.

It’s hard living in such a turbulent area. It’s a good think I live out in the country - I couldn’t handle that big city stress.

I strongly suspect the local news is sort of “softening” the news this weekend because of all the visitors in the area. I notice it didn’t make the news that a store was robbed at gunpoint just a short distance from Bonnaroo.
