Maybe it’s just because I went to my nephew’s Boot Camp graduation last weekend that “military” things are more noticeable to me now… I don’t know.
But, something struck me as odd when I saw this OLD-timey Army truck passing through downtown Nashville — right past the Capitol Building — yesterday during rush hour.
Something about this throw-back military truck driving past a shiny new Mercedes Benz car pulling out of the State Capitol, followed by a beefy new Nissan Ridgeline pickup truck — with all its slick edges and sleek curves — and the mass-transit city bus loaded with downtown workers just made this a funny sight to me:
Add to this the oddity that it was a fairly young female driver (wearing casual military diggs), and it just seemed like something I’d be likely to see in some other country… not here!
We moved from Florida to Tennessee in 2001. All signs point to the fact that we will probably retire here — by choice. We L O V E Nashville! Our favorite places to live are just south of the City — we’ve had houses in Brentwood, Franklin, and Spring Hill. And we have properties in Leipers Fork, Cookeville, and Lewisburg.
