Super cool

One of these days, I’m going to do the Millennium manor tour. Until then, I’m just grateful for those who haven’t been slack and who brought their cameras.

Thanks, Les!

Razor blades can flatten tires?

I got caught up in this traffic mess this morning, although I was lucky to lose time and not tire pressure. I wouldn’t've guessed that razor blades were causing the flat tires. How does a razor blad put a hole in a tire? Wouldn’t it lie flat and just get run over?

SEVIERVILLE (AP) — Authorities closed the southbound lanes of the major tourist route into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a time Monday after a box of razor blades was scattered across it.

Sevierville spokesman Bob Stahlke said the incident occurred about 7:30 a.m. Eastern time and nearly a dozen drivers had tires go flat after driving over the spilled blades on Highway 66.

No one was reported hurt in the incident.

Stahlke said it appeared a box or bucket of the blades fell from a vehicle.
