the recession




if you haven't heard, nashville has been underwater.
i've never seen that much rain in two days.
and, of course, i hope to never see it again.

i'm one of the lucky ones who came out fine.
my house is in a perfect spot for those situations.
nothing happend.
a few friends lost important things like cars and homes.
others lost record collections and artwork.
those things CANNOT be replaced. and for rock and roll kids, that hurts.

one of my favorite "disaster" stories has to be nashville's famous hotel, Opryland Hotel.
"A pair of piranha reportedly escaped from their aquarium during Nashville's recent flood. According to police reports quoted by television station WKRN, at least two flesh-eating piranha slipped out of the huge 150,000-gallon tank at Aquarium Restaurant in the Opry Mills mall and are swimming in the flooded hallways, where water remains waist-deep to neck-deep in spots. Piranha are freshwater fish, native to South America."
