A happy summertime to everyone.
Hope you got your gardens planted and that they enjoyed the abundant sunshine and equally abundant rainfall lately.
If you have not noticed, the Mayos really enjoy venturing around and exploring the beautiful state of Tennessee, taking in various hikes and sights and waterfalls.
We have assembled a collection of some of the top waterfalls in the Middle Tennessee area—all easy day trips from Murfreesboro—for you within this edition.
Check some of them out sometime. They offer great free entertainment—no ticket needed!
Sure, most of these falls see periods of higher and lower water volume from time to time depending on recent rain activity, but you don’t have to worry about whether or not they are open. They flow continually, the land around them preserved for all to visit and experience.
Explore and enjoy, and let me know of other good Tennessee hiking trails and sites of natural splendor.
It’s an interesting concept how WastAway plans to produce fuel out of local garbage at a planned Murfreesboro facility. Read more about those trashy plans in this edition of the Pulse as well.
Mr. Murfreesboro took a little trip down memory lane, diving into some of the local restaurants of old. Some good ones have come and gone from Murfreesboro, even over the past 10 or 20 years. Some that I miss occasionally include Calypso Cafe, Three Brothers Deli and O’Possum’s. But the Murfreesboro area certainly has no shortage of existing quality local eateries if you get hungry.
Music City Swing kicks off the Friday Night Live series on June 7. Perhaps I will see you there.
Do let me know if you ever need some more copies of the Pulse! Our goal is to get a paper into everyone’s hands who wants one, but to reduce waste as much as possible, with racks emptied out just as the month comes to a close.
A happy father’s day to my dad—a hard working family man!
Bracken Jr. and I had a fantastic camping trip in May with some family guys. I had a wonderful hot and humid trail run in solitude, and we got the kayak out on the lake. Jr. got his first sunburn of 2024. Summer is here! We will definitely have to get in the water some more somewhere this month. Summer flies by. Take advantage of it while you can.
The family also did a little Gatlinburg getaway in May. Good times, good eatin’, good outdoor activity.
Thanks for picking up the Pulse. Until next time, be still and know! Do not worry.
Peace!
