The Norris Dam Visitors Center in Tennessee. I was visiting Clinch River Brewing and thought I'd see how the dam looked at sunset. The dam was boring, but the visitors center looked pretty cool with its night lights on. The rain clouds are dramatic at with the blush of sunset.

Post 2 of 3:

Two bigots have challenged 13 books recently. Our library doesn't even own some of them; others that they want moved to adult-oriented sections are already shelved there.

Post 1 of 2:

At a board of trustees meeting this week, 21 people spoke out against censorship in public and called for inclusion and equity in book selection. More folks were lined up outside the room and down the hall waiting to say the same.

Loyal Mountaineers: “In 1862, when McTeer traveled to the Cumberland Gap, and joined what became the Third Cavalry, the end of the war and its outcome was by no means certain. Had the Confederacy prevailed, he might have become an outcast – or even a – unable to return to his beloved mountains.”
