Bristol, Tenn.

 We ate dinner at the State Line restaurant on State Line Road.  Across the street was Virginia.  Bristol bills itself as “the Birthplace of Country Music,” but a much more accurate description would be “the Birthplace of RECORDED country music,” since that seems to be what happened here about 1928.

Two women who came into the motel to register were the only people we saw today with masks.  As we get deeper into Tennessee and then Arkansas, we plan to wear ours.  The Delta variant is alive and well down here.  

The voters of Tennessee, of course, are the people who elected Rand Paul, so we shouldn’t be surprised if few of them are vaccinated and none of them wear masks.

  1. I believe Rand Paul is currently a senator of Kentucky. Of course knowing haw things are done in the south, maybe the people of Tennessee did vote for him.

  2. All these red states run together. You are right.
