Anyone who is going out to celebrate the New Year has no business behind tyhe wheel of a car. The Nashville police force and one of the local TV stations has a program to provide a safe ride if you have been drinking. You can go find your car the next day when your head is cleared and you have no chance of going to jail for DUI. Let us hope everyone has a safe and very happy new year and the police have nothing to do on that dat except give drunk people a safe ride home.

Loud music
The city fathers of Nashville have lost their collective minds it seems. They are trying to make the honky tonks on Broadway turn down the music so it will not disturb the yuppies that have moved into the condos downtowns far as I am concerned the music as playing loud when they moved there and it is something they either need to learn to deal with or the best option is MOVE somewhere else where the music is not as loud. This to me is like some one buying a house near the airport and then complaining that the planes are to loud, as I said deal with it or move.
Election
Tonight I voted in my first election. I am so excited to watch the results on TV tonight and I hope somehow the country comes to its senses and votes the right way. The early results do not look good for my party in the national races but here in Tennessee the Republics look to hold on to all of their seats, going against the national trend. By morning we will have a new elected President and I am very excited to see the outcome.
First frost
Last night the temperature hit 29 degrees, the coldest night we have had this season and our first freeze, I still have tomatoes on the vine and I hope they make it through this cold snap, we pulled in all the plants that are mobile and got them in out of the freezing weather. I will not be this cold for very long, the cold snaps in October do not last very long and the weather rebounds very quickly to mild or even warm weather. I can wait for the long very cold spells we will be looking at soon enough when winter do arrive next month.
Hockey
This Friday the NHL season starts for our Nashville Predators, and I for one can not wait for the ice to be played on for real. The preseason is over the roster is set and it is time for the puck to drop. I have decided not to renew my season tickets this year. We will go to a few games, follow the rest on TV and the radio and wish the team the best for this year. I still consider myself a Predators fan and will support the team the best way I can with the economy in the toilet like it is, I hope that next year we will be able to get our season tickets back and be there every night like the last few years.
