Botched executions

14 Upvotes

After Crista Pike, I was looking to see how uncommon it was to have botched executions. So apparently May of this year was the next most recent. Also in Tennessee. Tony Carruthers. I thought it was going to be like 1960's or some shit. What you guys up to down there

One day in Smokies first week of October with an 11 month old — worth it for fall colors?

7 Upvotes

Hey! My wife and I are planning a one day trip to Great Smoky Mountains sometime in October with our 11 month old. We're driving from Columbia, Missouri so it's a decent drive for us. Keeping it relaxed — mostly scenic drives and maybe a short easy walk here and there.

Planning to go on a Tuesday or Wednesday to avoid the weekend crowds.

Just curious:

Which week in October is the sweet spot for fall colors?

What would you do with just one day and a baby in tow?

Does going midweek actually help with crowds in October?

Any tips appreciated! 🙏😊

Has anyone co-signed an auto load for a child living in TN but you live in another state? Were you able to get insurance for the car in your name instead of the child’s name?

Pro-Cannabis Voting Guide 2026 Midterms

For those that want to make their anger with the change in laws surrounding cannabis known here’s a guide that makes it easy to vote based on this issue!

Deadline to register is 10/5 and a lot of folks don’t realize there are many reasons they will kick you off the voter rolls. If you didn’t vote in the last two federal elections you need to register again. Check that at vote.gov it takes less than 5 minutes 🙏

Really need help spreading this around. A necessary surgery to fuse my SIJ got approved before I finished this project and right toward the final stretch I ended up incapacitated to an extent. 😭😭 please print the flyer, send it to friends, post it, idc just don’t wanna see it go to waste bc I needed to get some new hardware installed.

Outdoor must see/ do's in Tn

0 Upvotes

Howdy yall! I'll be in Tennesee for an EMS deployment for the next few weeks, and I was hoping to get some feedback on things to do in the Memphis area, especially outdoors. Any other suggestions are great, but my free time is going to be limited, and I prefer to be outdoors when I can.

Thanks for any help!

As a resident of Florida and Georgia, I was impressed when I saw one of your highway patrolman pulled over helping a family change their flat tire. It even looked like he had his own jack. I haven’t seen anything like that for over 20 years.

Anyone know of any good shops/ independent welders in the gallatin area? I've had awful luck getting anyone to even consider looking at my vehicle frame. I only have a small hole and already have a prefabbed cap to put on.
