I suspect we may be of different ages and so experienced Rockwood at different times under different conditions. Or maybe you're just luckier than...

Drove to West Tennessee on U.S.70 more times than I care to remember. It appears that as a driver my perspective was different than yours and I never...

I disagree, categorically and with vehement vigor!

anyway, bye ray man, you were my favorite member of the doors.

Well, it certainly appears that our geography diverts weather patterns. In addition to the Mt. Roosevelt phenomenon, I've noticed that sometimes...

Walking down steep carpeted steps in your sock feet is very, very stupid - especially if you have both hands full.

Umm, no. I remember Rockwood as taking forever to get though. Plus it was a notorious speed trap. My dad got stopped there once for doing 42 in a...

But once you got to Rockwood, you would watch the traffic lights turn green as you approached them. At worst, you might have had to stop for one red...

Got it. I didn't realize that spot had a name. And I remember the old route 70 well - I grew up in middle Tennessee (McMinnville to be exact) and...

Roosevelt is the high spot when you climb out of Rockwood. If you head up Route 70 instead of taking I-40, you can drive out the firetower road and...

Mt. Roosevelt overlooks Rockwood where I-40 ascends to the top of the Cumberland Plateau. When you watch the weather radar, pay attention to what...

Ok, I don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Sci-fi thought: What if your skin, the body's largest organ, was connected to your vocal chords? Wow, would we be a communicative species. Talk about...

I'm not a meteorologist, but I can tell you in two words: Mount Roosevelt.

Councilman questions details of Rogero's bond debt plan...Wallace and other City Council members used the morning and afternoon to pick at the...

Damn.

I've noticed this too. Would love to have a meteorologist explain why.

The parting happens a lot. Central Knoxville gets a pass a lot, except when it doesn't.

You might be a Knox Countian if you unplugged everything for nothing as that monster just parted and swept past us. Didn't look like a good time to...

Ah, I've found the problem. You think you're a wit, and you're half right.

Annual floods-of-the-century lift more sturdier bridges for everyone! Plus, regular floods mean a continued fresh water supply! It's a win-win!

Being constructed to withstand a Biblical flood.

Ah, we've found the problem. The tone setting on your computer is cranked up too high and you're getting sneer harmonics. It's a small, blue...

Tea Party protests outside Knoxville IRS office ...Not everyone stuck to that message. Some protesters carried signs comparing the IRS to...

Not to get too far afield here, but I saw a Wal-Mart ad recently in which it was claimed that over 60% of Americans shop at Wal-Mart on at least a...

Lots of nice people shop at WalMart. Do you ever go there?

Be civil, asshole.

Be careful going about Knoxville (in "the greater metropolitan area" sense) over the next couple of hours, as nature may meet technology with a real...

There, there, The. I was referring to the collective Knoxville, not the administration thereof. Replace "Knoxville" with "Knoxvillians" if you like....

heehee... though it seems more likely he wanted to be lord byron.
