For some reason we are seeing dead armadillos on the side of the interste. In the past month I have seen three different ones. this is very unusual for this area and I have to wonder if we are being invaded by armadillos now?

It was a year ago this week that North Nashville was destroyed by a vicious tornado. You do not think of February as a prime tornado month but it was last year. You do not think of Tennessee as a tornado magnet but we have the most deaths from the storms of any state in the nation and I really did not believe that until I moved here. One reason is the very bad weather forecasters we have and the hills hide the storms until they are right upon you and you can not get away from the storm in time.

Today is a huge game in this great season the Tennessee Titans are putting together. They go after win number 10 in a row to start a season. The previous record for the franchise was 3 in a row to start a season. I wonder if the 72 dolphins are worried yet? Maybe after the game today they will start to worry. Today the Jacksonville Jaguars are the next victim and I can not wait to get this game in the books this team worries me a bit this may be the toughest game left for the Titans to finish 16-0. I guess the second Indy game will be a ball buster too and I can not wait to get another chunk of Peyton Manning I think he is a chump and love when his team loses. GO TITANS!

For the last week there have been long lines to purchase gasoline and for now it seems to have gone back to normal. No long lines and everyone has at least regular gasoline, some of the gas stations have no premium but most of the cars and trucks on the road now run ok on the regular grade. I am just happy not to have to wait 2 hours to fill up my tank. A couple of times we had to search for a station that had any gasoline at all and that when your limited for time was a pain in the butt. I am glad that we are back to normal now.

The third week of the football season is upon us already and several team have found themselves with out their quarterbacks, some for the rest of the season some just for 1-2 weeks. The highest profile quarterback to be injured for the season is New England’s Tom Brady who injured his knee in the first week of the season and is lost to the Patriots for the remainder of the season. Here in Nashville we lost Vince Young to a knee injury right after he quit on the team in game 1 and back up Kerry Collins lead the team to victory in game number 2 and I hope will be our quarterback even when Young gets healthy.
