    Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

    I was reminded of this partly due to returning home from a project in west Tennessee outside of Memphis and Google maps detoured me through Goodlettsville to get back onto I-65 north of Nashville and local news had a blurb on the radio about the somber anniversary.

      I remember. Grandpa Jones lived not too far from them. It shook all of Nashville back then. Allegedly the guys thought Stringbean had a bunch of money hidden in his property.

        That’s so sad. I remember him, but not this. How they were is really something to think about.
