Why would anybody want to get rid of their Mariah Carey Funko Pop?
Somebody traded this away, it's on the shelf at McKay's.

Looks like I made the second episode of "9-1-1 Nashville". It was just as a background extra, we had to time our walk so that the guy on the Segway would zoom out right in front of us. Must have done a dozen takes at least.

I thought fiber optic cable usually came wrapped in orange tubing. So either this black plastic tubing is something other than fiber, or the Secret World Government is trying to hide the fact they're installing more fiber here in Nashville.

Apologies for the dusty screen, I need to clean my loaner car. But wanted to share this XM screen, seems Milli Vanilli is still up to their old tricks. Now instead of pretending to sing, they're pretending to be from the Police's Synchronicity album.

Boat dock at the Harrah's Laughlin. Fish are enjoying the shade, at least until the water taxi has to dock on this side.

Sunrise over the Harrah's Laughlin casino. As seen from the convenience store across the street, which just so happens to also be owned by Harrah's.

Thankfully, I never worked for somebody who needed a cup like this. I've certainly had bad bosses but not to this level.

Forecast said it would "only" be 98 today. But my car's thermometer said it was 100.
Of course this was driving on a road. With all that lovely blacktop absorbing extra radiation. Probably more than enough to explain the extra two degrees.

I'm sharing this photo not for the remote-control R2 unit, but for the "Kanban & Scrum Flex Board" sitting to the left of the droid. Somebody managed to trade that in at McKay's, the store is listing it at $49.95.
Sorry, Agile is not worth that much money at least not to me.

I have no idea what this pattern is supposed to be. It's not a camouflage, what the heck was the intention behind this paint job?

I really wish I knew the story behind this wreck that I saw being carried down the road. Hard to see but that front driver-side tire is completely gone, it's just the broken wheel. What the heck did they hit, to cause the whole tire to come off the wheel?

Not something you see everyday on the streets of Nashville. A pickup truck pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with bales of hay.

Standing on 2nd Ave, looking west up Commerce Ave.
Nearest building on the left is being transformed into the new Dolly Parton Hotel. I expect the facade will look quite different from what it is today.

I often see long trains of coal cars heading thru Nashville. Usually I see them when they're full of coal, heading to the power plants. I think this is the first time I've caught one going the other way, empty.

Okay yes, this made me laugh out loud.

It has always struck me as odd that the Dewey decimal system, created long before either UFOs or computers, has somehow ended up placing UFOs and computers right next to each other.

If you drive from Nashville to Atlanta, there's not a single Buc-ee's along the way. But drive Nashville to Pigeon Forge and you'll pass two.
I wonder why they haven't built yet on the Nashville-Atlanta corridor?

No idea what this sign means, it was on a random Nashville road that I was driving down earlier this week.
Are they proposing a Trump / Musk presidential ticket? Was this put up before or after the bromance flameout?

I've been to CMA Fest several times over the years, just to pick up some of the freebies that companies are always handing out. This year might be the first time I actually got something healthy -- an apple.
Yes they put it in a little box so they could print their brand advertising all over it.

Whomever owns this Shipley's location is in a big hurry to open up. I mean they're paying for Sunday construction work.
I'd guess they are hoping to be operational in time for the July 4th crowds.

Not sure how I feel about this painting on the back of this truck. It started at me, judging me, for half a mile as I drove behind the truck.

Why are people who drive these monstrous cars so bad at parking? There is plenty of room to get this Hummer between the lines, but that was apparently too much work for this driver.
