Nashville After Hours

Those of my folks in Nashville, I'm watching Ryan Hall on YT to keep up with tonight's severe weather. He and his team are incredibly dedicated weather watchers and storm chasers.
So it wasn't just my imagination... No need to ever bring him back, #SNL. Performance was mediocre. Surely, "I'm The Problem" works well for him. Of all the available great talent, why was he on anyway?

The "I'm The Problem" singer exited "SNL" before the credits rolled
OMG!!! Elizabeth Warren is holding a town hall next weekend in Nashville, I'm totally going!!!

Hello #nashville I am visiting you for the 1st time.
Any recommendations for a nerdy gal who loves yarn, people watching, & weird stuff?

Ev'ning marks the close of day
Skies of blue begin to grey
Crimson hues are fading in the West
Ev'ning ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be
Memories of those I love the best

"the #Nashville field office showed up on a list of 47 #SocialSecurity offices #DOGE plans to close. The #news was met with intense pushback from people across the city who depend on the office for support."
Oh, and tomorrow night I am recording my 12yo niece in studio H because I can and that will be cool for her. So I may be spending much of tomorrow turning the demos she sang into her dad's phone into songs
(I am probably a fair to middling engineer but I'm an awesome uncle)
We had a nice lunch reception catered by the Guitar Center Custom House, and then got to play with the wax cylinder recording apparatus in the afternoon.
And that concludes the classroom portion of the program. I'm helping track in the studio on Monday and Wednesday and then graduating on Friday.
So I guess I am officially hunting an internship now. I had better get on that. Tips, leads, and contacts appreciated.
This morning, #JacquireKing gave us three straight hours of conversation and stories and advice and answers to our questions. Super nice, gracious, and thoughtful guy. A real class act.

It was freezing (0C/32F) during today's 14.6km/9.0mi walk. A not very exciting 9'11" per km and once again a not very stimulating barely moderate 105 BPM (70%).
It seemed a lot colder what with a haircut and no more brain insulation. Ah well, it might grow back.

Today's walk in 4C/39F temps entailed hoofing it for 14.4km/8.9mi. Averaging 9'08" per km it didn't manage to get the old heartbeat above a moderately light 104 BPM (69%).
It was a good walk.
