Happy Hour: Sky’s Not Falling
Tragic as the Gulf oil spill is (especially now that the Boston Globe gave us a look inside) we are happy to hear that it won’t be hitting northwest Tennessee anytime soon, since apparently some folks were concerned, for some reason.

Good morning, Nashville. We hope you’re enjoying a day at home with the kiddos, but if you’re like us, you probably had to go into work anyway. Looks pretty out the window though, right?
