Good morning, Nashville. It seems the sky is falling in north Nashville, complete with 75-pound rocks raining down from the heavens and battering people’s houses. Actually, it’s just debris from blasting at a construction site down the road that has residents up in arms. Some are seeing damage to their homes that won’t be covered by insurance, but Rep.

• He really loves English. Eric Crafton is reintroducing a bill that would slap an interpreter fee on any Nashvillian who needs a Metro service translated into another language. He compares it to his mother having to pay when she calls an ambulance, which is not really the same thing at all.

• Bits & pieces. Employees of the Metro Government will get some major discounts on Nashville General Hospital … A group of endangere whooping cranes will be making their way through Nashville during an ultralight-led migration … Three students were arrested yesterday afternoon following a fight at McGavock High School … The Summit Polymers plant in Shelbyville will be closing down and leaving more than 250 people unemployed.
