With that in  mind, my wife Kelly and I have decided to start our own news blog  site, <a href=\"http:\/\/normandpost.com\/\">The Normand Post<\/a>. This forum which will exist to explore the problems  facing humanity and all of the planetary systems, and start an open-ended  dialogue to help create solutions.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I will continue my efforts to document the  Tennessee flood, writing blogs and articles for my own site, and other websites  as well.<\/p>\n<p>One recent news story in Nashville, examined the temporary  dumping station at Edwin Warner park for the massive amount of storm debris  being collected around middle Tennessee. Every day a fleet of trucks makes  rounds collecting piles of house debris, appliances, drywall, just about  anything you can think of, and bring it to this temporary holding station where  it is then trucked off to landfills throughout the state. \u00a0I decided to take a drive by there today to  see it firsthand. The debris is piled as high as the trees, on an area the size  of a football field, and is a quite disheartening sight to see alongside some  kids playing a game of soccer. Yesterday, \u00a0when I went to the local dump near my house in  Cheatham County, I noticed three large dump trucks dumping there, obviously  part of this debris removal. What I found disturbing, was the mile-long trail  of dirt leaving the dump in either direction, obviously spill off of what must  be a now constant parade of\u00a0 trucks now dumping here from all over. More on that  later.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also uploaded a new <a href=\"http:\/\/nashvillemusicianssurvivalmanual.com\/FloodPhotos\/floodimages.html\">slideshow<\/a> containing most of the flood  and  aftermath photos I have taken, with captions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"dumpsite.jpg\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" align=\"absmiddle\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With each day bringing horrific new insight and ever more uncertainty regarding the oil spill in the Gulf, it&#8217;s now more important than ever to become educated and aware about the world we live in.
