• Speaking of tree carcasses, the Great Middle Tennessee Drought Of ’08 has taken at least one Christmas tree farm out of commission. [WRKN]
• We may still have hope in the whole we-really-need-wine-in-our-grocery-stores debacle. [WTVF]
• Nashvillian Eric Volz, who was stuck in a Nicaraguan prison for 15 months for a murder he clearly didn’t commit, just got word today that he’s going to be retried in absentia. [WSMV]
• The two teens who drove off in a police van yesterday are back in custody after wandering in the Baptist Hospital this afternoon. [WKRN]
