This is just too odd. I know that gas prices are high, but to put a dead [and reportedly pregnant] deer in front of a gas station with a protest sign is just going beyond any bounds of decency. Here's hoping they catch this person soon.

When I was a child growing up in East TN, we had a news crew to our house, as we had millions of Cicadas in our yard, specifically around one magnificent tree. You literally couldn't even walk through our yard, because all of these shells that the cicadas shed were scattered everywhere. And the smell was terrible. Needless to say/write, cicadas took on a whole new meaning for me. And now we've allegedly again cycled into another cicada breeding season, where we could see [and smell] these creatures again.

We have a weather advisory statement from the National Weather Service, and it's a "red flag warning." I had honestly never heard of this one before. Apparently, when wind conditions arise along with low humidity, then "explosive fire growth potential" can occur.

This is an especially timely article considering the "half naked" pictures of Miley Cyrus that were taken by a photographer AFTER her parents reportedly left the shoot location [as reported by msnbc.com and cnn.com]. Studio S is reportedly requiring parents of minors to be present during any photo shoot of a child.

This is a Tennessean article on gangs in Williamson County, after a gang related killing between high school students there. I actually drove by that school on Friday, as we were out in the Cool Springs area taking advantage of the tax free holiday. The high school is just lovely. It's a practically brand new school. And yet when they were letting students out of the school, there was a pretty high police presence there. We are not mentioned as a county with a known gang presence. But I'm posting this article as a reminder of how much we have to be grateful for. And on a Monday morning, I can safely type [pre-coffee] "Thank God For Kingston Springs!" Have a great week everybody! :-)
