The REAL Election Results

Thanks to BTR for the image 🙂

Seriously, things were a little tense for a while, but thankfully Ohio didn’t turn into another Florida. And my (admittedly little) respect for John Kerry has grown significantly considering the way he handled it. He could have contested Ohio if he really felt like it, but thankfully common sense got the better of him.

Local elections went well… Maury County overwhelmingly (87%) voted *not* to have a county sales tax. Who thought this would ever pass? Tennessee already has the highest sales tax in the nation, and they want to *increase* it? Riiiiight.

Peanuts?

As I was cooking dinner, I looked at the ingredients label of a can of Lucks Fried Apples. At the bottom, it said “may contain peanuts”. I’m just wracking my brain trying to figure out how fried apples could possibly contain peanuts…

I was poking around some musician websites, and found Reb Beach’s site, who is one of my favorite guitarists. In one part of his site, he tells a story about some touring hijinx:

What was it like touring with Poison and Cinderella on the ‘Power to the People’ Tour?

Don got in a Jet Ski accident and tore ligaments so he sat with a crutch on stage. [One day], he was high on painkillers during the show and hit Jeff in the eye while attempting to twirl his mike stand. Jeff passed out for a few seconds on the floor of the stage in front of me. I thought he was just really getting into it on the ground

I was there! It was at the Amsouth theater in Nashville, summer of 2001. I was in the fifth or sixth row, directly in front of the bass player who got clocked with the microphone stand. Luckily it was the next-to-last song, so it didn’t really affect the show, but it was pretty funny at the time.
