Today was another travel day but we couldn’t leave Nashville without trying one more restaurant that came very highly recommended. We went to Husk (37 Rutledge Street) and were not disappointed. And what did we have to eat?
We then headed southeast toward Atlanta. We stopped about halfway to visit the city of Chattanooga. I heard wonderful things about the city from cousins John and Margaret and my friend and Chattanooga’s favorite son Mr. Belding himself, Dennis Haskins. We enjoyed the Bluff View Art District sculpture garden near the Hunter Gallery. We saw a variety of beautiful works of art. See below.
We also saw this sculpture so very appropriate of for our BBQ and Baseball Tour.
The sculpture motivated me to practice calling balls and strikes. See below.
Then it was off to Atlanta. Patrice was kind enough to drive but that can be very dangerous. Oh no, not because Patrice is a bad driver. I would never say that (at least not in a place that she could read or hear). But rather, dangerous because it gives my mind time to wander. While relaxing in the passenger seat I started to think about guns in the South. I recalled seeing these signs during the trip.
In LA things are much different. Patrice and I recently went to a movie theater where they searched her purse. I joked with the employee and said, “She left her gun at home”. The employee responded, “I am not looking for guns, I am looking for food”. So apparently it is okay to bring your gun to the movies just don’t try to bring any food.
On the news tonight we heard a story that guns are not prohibited at college football tailgate parties in Georgia. Hmmmmm, let me think back about being at tailgate parties at USC football games. Did I ever see anyone drunk before kick off? Did I ever see any of these drunkards do something incredibly stupid? Now, just imagine a gun in one of those idiot’s hands. Watching the game in my living room is sounding real good.
Heck with football! This is a baseball tour and tomorrow is time for more baseball.

Robert: the original Husk is in Charleston. Still going strong on Queen Street. Sean Brock is an amazing chef

I’m in Atlanta now. I just told someone how a “friend” shortened my life by introducing me to shrimp and grits. She’s from Charleston. But I had to admit I’d die with a full tummy and a smile on my face
