True Crime is not my genre. Even though the Lindsay Clancy trial featured an AWFL who strangled her three young children, it could be mostly ignored until the verdict was in. Then it got interesting.

Push to rename Nashville airport for Dolly Parton gets a boost from Tennessee’s governor
Renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is uninspired, but this is a great idea.
I am qualified to judge because I usually come up with good names. Sparky is a great name for my little piglet, and my one-handed sledgehammer is ‘pocket Hercules’. I have names that made it into corporate literature, but let’s stay focused on Nashville International Airport.
Commentators haven’t yet explored why this is such a good idea.
Twitter/X is an interesting place today. With the passing of Dolly Parton, celebrities are telling their stories about working with her. It’s not a surprise that nobody has a bad thing to say. What is surprising is the range of people who have a story to tell.
There are also a bunch of clips of her performances and appearances on Johnny Carson and other late night TV shows.
Ricky Gervais provided a Dolly Parton quote. “You don’t get the rainbow without the rain.”
Be sad that she’s gone, but grateful that Dolly Parton ever existed.
If you haven’t seen this, then you live like a normal person in the real world.
I have no interest in women’s basketball, but this incident is fascinating to watch. I didn’t do a deep dive, but nobody is providing a convincing explanation.
With family in town, we had a cook-out at my house. We get reacquainted as the young ones form new bonds. Looking at it like that, a little girl crying in the rain is an opportunity. It certainly doesn’t mark the end of the party.
Freddie the German World Cup tourist says that Amish land is his favorite place so far, and he’s been to some great places.
Since Freddie started his World Cup road trip three weeks ago, he has been attracting attention on Twitter. When he went viral, everybody with clout has been giving him VIP treatment.
If you haven’t heard of Freddie, here are some of his posts describing his experiences.
This Japanese fella posts on Twitter/X. I like how he writes about America, so I may occasionally post on my site. I’m not fond of embedded posts, so I cut and paste.

A small dish of trust.
A little dish of coins by the register.
“Take a penny, leave a penny.”
No lock. No guard.
Just honor.
I added three coins and bowed to it.
Someone had to keep the balance.
A cashier asked if I was okay.
The dish is safe, I told her.
“It’s just pennies.”
She has no idea what she’s protecting.
I carry a pouch of pennies now.
Not one dish runs dry on my watch.
In America, a dish of coins is left, and trusted.
Who decided that? I’d like to thank them.
At our morning fellowship, I told Sparky that his Uncle Randy, my brother-in-law, had passed away. We’d visited several times, so I thought we should talk about it.
Hedge witch might not be the right term, but she had the knowing for them that would listen.
After my last post, Youtube fed me this girl-band version of Foggy Mountain Breakdown. The video is edited so different instruments appear as needed, and musicians are positioned next to each other to coincide with the section of the song.
I started to think I was racist or sexist or ageist, because I couldn’t tell the musicians apart .
