That's actually pretty
That's actually pretty awesome. And clever too. Too bad the "real" local media wasn't there to cover it. Or better yet, cover the very real issues.
At least the security guy was calm and nice enough. Took him a while to get there, though. Good thing Santa and his helpers wern't a "real" threat. Hope he delivered the switches and lumps of coal to those who are. Heh.
Many thanks to the United
Many thanks to the United Mountain Defense Group.
Maybe the media was invited and none chose to attend? TVA does bring a lot of money to the area. A good corporate partner?
