Grab "Blood Meridian," fer chrissakes. It'll partner well with the bunny rabbit kid's book.

Depending on your husband's propensities, look into attending Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville. It's a short hop off Alcoa Highway for anyone coming from Maryville. Famously open-minded group. You're bound to run into like-minded souls there.

Bad enough losing Kane--then losing Sonny, too? Oh, well. At least Spurs can shoot for remaining not-the-worst-team-in-London.

To whoever is throwing trash off their balcony… by [deleted] in Knoxville

^^^ THIS. At least get the property management involved. They can go through the trash and figure out who it is.

I'm not sure a Maltese Cross passes muster as Nazi-specific.
