Part 7
Memphis is an interesting city. Parts are quite seedy looking but the city
does have life and plenty of history. I
found it quite amusing that the cable car tracks are in the middle of
the road, literally. Not sure how
traffic moves when the cable car runs.
The cable cars are restored from an early time.
It was
time to retire; day two of the Constitution Party Convention would start
early. Seeing the MLK site haunted my
thoughts though I slept quite well.
I woke late again and missed some
of the lectures at the convention. The
one topic I was really sorry I missed was the talk on the affects of the
illegal aliens on our nation. Other
topics were the danger of a Constitutional Convention (con con), common core, social
issues for dummies, and the importance of issues in political campaigns.
The Constitution Preamble reads:
We the members of the Constitution Party gratefully acknowledge the
blessing of the Lord God as Creator, Preserver, and Ruler of the Universe and
of this Federal Republic. We hereby appeal to Him for aid, comfort,
guidance and the protection of His Divine Providence.
It was great to be in a room with
people from different walks of life, different states, different religions but
all like minded in our agreement of helping this nation and stopping the Federal Government from
encroaching into our personal freedom and liberties. I felt at home.
I met Daniel from Georgia, a logger from Colorado, a preacher from Tennessee; maybe I shouldn’t list anymore as I know I am leaving
some out.
The two day convention went way to
fast. We had a long haul ahead of us so
I said short good byes and headed out to find our hotel in Park City, Kentucky.
Time was approaching 9pm so with a raise of hands we voted to stop off in Nashville to eat. What a bad
vote that was. From the little we saw Nashville is no longer a country city, far far different than years
back when I was there as a kid on a family vacation and again about 20 years or
so ago.
Saturday night was crazy busy. We
thought we could find a nice country restaurant or something different than
what we have at home but all we ran into was chain restaurants and
places like Hard Rock. We stopped at a
little independent diner but it was just closing. My temp gauge on the Bus started rising so we
ventured to the outskirts of the city.
Nothing. We eventually found a Mexican restaurant and ate there. The food was decent but our waitress
understood very little.
What happened to ham, grits, greens
and taters?
Gotta GoGo!!
