Nashville’s Pacific connection: My obvious observation the other day that Nashville is neither in Louisiana nor near the Pacific (but we are fortunate that Louisiana-Pacific has its headquarters here) drew this comment from one of this weblog’s more insightful readers: “True, but the Nashville Sounds minor-league baseball team is part of the Pacific Coast League.” Hmmm.

I’ve always thought the one thing Nashville was missing was a nearby ocean. Who knows, if Nashvillian Al Gore is correct, maybe after a century or two of global warming, we may actually be on the Pacific.
