Happy Hour: Columbus Sailed The Ocean Blue
- Dickson County schools are edging closer to a complete shutdown due to some budget issues and have set a deadline of October 26 for the closure. [WKRN]
- Over the weekend, a kid hopped aboard one of Metro Schools’ special education buses and took a joy ride around Antioch with police in hot pursuit. Somehow he ended up getting away. [WSMV]
- We can’t believe we missed Lewisburg’s Fainting Goats Festival this past weekend. Oh wait, that’s probably because there were two million other things going on. [Nashville Scene]
- Someone is trying to auction off a clump of Elvis’ hair, and any article that leads with “The King may be dead, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to run your fingers through his hair,” is alright by us. [WZTV]
- Nissan is running around like crazy trying to figure out where to put all the electric car charging stations in preparation for that fancy new LEAF model they’re planning to roll out next year. [Tennessean]

Bright & Early: Away We Go Edition
Good morning, Nashville. When we were sifting through the headlines this morning and came across this article about cuddle parties hitting Middle Tennessee, we have to admit we were almost too creeped out to write about anything else. The parties, which have apparently been a big hit in Murfreesboro lately, are a chance for adults to get together in their pajamas and eat snacks while “freestyle cuddling” and stacking themselves into “puppy piles” and giving each other foot massages. Cuddle lifeguards hang around to make sure the fun stays clean, and there is a strict set of rules for each party. Oi.
- As long as it glows. The US Department of Energy is devising a plan to ship 200 truckloads of radioactive soil to a Tennessee landfill from a New York plutonium excavation site. Environmental advocates are none too pleased.
- Child wanders off again. The 9-year old autistic girl who has led Metro police on two separate chases in her parents’ car wandered off last night in North Nashville with a two-year old boy she snagged from her foster home.
- Bits & pieces. And let’s not even talk about the Titans game … The saddest thing we’ve ever seen is the Nashville Zoo’s anteater with the flu … If you’re planning to burn all the leaves in your yard this fall, be sure to grab a permit … A Middle Tennessee man was caught driving around with 8 gallons of illegal moonshine in his car.
