I’ve gotten to enjoy the beginning of spring in Tennessee. I’m staying at an Airbnb. I think it is the first apartment I’ve stayed in. The apartment complex consists mainly of hispanic immigrants. They mainly all speak Spanish.
The first night was interesting, I guess. I got in, and decided to not go out. A woman answered the door. Smiled, and gestured to come in. Showed me my room. The door had the name Alex on it, which looked like a child wrote it. I believe the place is a 2 bedroom apartment, and a family lives in it. To earn a bit of money they airbnb their child’s room. Or childrens’ room. When I went to use the restroom there were a boy and a girl at their dinner table. It is a clean room, and the bed isn’t the worst I’ve slept in.
The first exciting thing of the night was the fire alarm. Kids of the complex pulled the alarm. What made it worse, it didn’t seem like it called the fire department. The alarm was going off for like an hour. I watched two shows. I even called their office. I believe maintenance was the one that turned off the alarm, the fire department. I pondered, this sucks for the people here. The apartment complex could burn completely down, and people lose everything, due to… my guess, so authorities don’t find out there are undocumented people living there?
Anyways, the second surprise I got that night was when I turned off the lights and went to bed. I’m on a full size bed, so my feet hang off most of the time. I heard a jingle. Like from a sleighbell. I thought it was nothing, then I felt a sharp needle like pain in my foot, then the sounds of something catching the cloth of the bed as it came down…. I got up with excitement. I knew what it was from the moment I felt pain! It was a kitten!!! This mid length hair siamese kitten was sitting under the bed. It was awesome. Such a cute kitty. It did want out of the room after it checked me out. But it made me happy before I went to sleep.
The next day I awoke. I knew I wanted to go to Jack Daniel’s Distillery. But I have not been as productive as I have been. Woke up and started watching videos, didn’t read, and it was about 11am when I finally got up. Took a shower, then decided that I wanted to get food between where I was and Jack Daniel’s. Found a midpoint and found two interesting places. Sent to my friends to choose for me. They chose Buster’s Place in Murfreesboro, TN. I got a burger that had a half pound patty, bacon jam, whipped feta cheese, jalapenos, and normal fixings too. The only thing that would make the burger from a 9/10 to a 10/10 would be butter toasting the buns. They didn’t do that, which I found weird. Outside of that, if you are going from Nashville to Jack Daniel’s Distillery, go to this place for lunch!
After I got the burger I went to Luxembourg, TN. The county that this town is in is a dry county. They have Jack Daniels there, and it is a Dry County. Like I feel like that was done by Jack Daniels, to have their employees not be able to have any other liquor than Jack. Of course, there is a loophole for them. They can sell their Jack. The place was really cool though. The yeast smell just lofted all over the place. It smelled like the most nutty brownie ever. Like I could just taste it. Wanted some ice cream with this smell.
Finished my last two nights at two different breweries. I enjoyed the time I had in Tennessee.
