watching television--my favorite part was the Jack Daniel's commercial--watching them pour the glass full, i realized that the cold tea (actually my time in Germany made me where I don't really like ice anymore, just cold or room temperature is ok for drinks)--anyway the tea looked almost the same as Jack Daniel's Black--but getting ready to take the sip, i realized one of my favorite part of JDB is the way it smells---so i definitely knew it was tea on the way instead---no, i am not really much of a drinker but that means i usually drink what i like the rare times i drink--
Lynchburg is a beautiful little town and is not really only about Jack Daniel's even though it's the only "industry" there--other than the tourists, it's actually a lot like most small Tennessee towns--in other words, a good place to spend time--try the tipsy cake--a couple of pieces and you feel it-
which brings me to the great disaster that happened , well, a few years ago---seems there was a small problem with a huge barrel or two on top of the hill where the distillery has some huge buildings and several hundred thousand of gallons of Jack "escaped," ran down the hill and ended up in the creek across the road----the spring you see in all the commercials is safe and good to drink---it runs into the creek but the creek flows a long distance through farms and the countryside---so it's not safe to drink--what with the cows and all spending time in the creek---so the creek was "contaminated" and a lot of cows enjoyed Jack for the first time--at least, first time i guess---i don't know that anyone local was upset---since everyone is either employed or related to several people who are employed by Uncle Jack(and it passes down through the years in families)----seems like i remember that the EPA got involved and there was a fine--but most of us just mourned the fact that there was no way to recover all that was lost, or some of the lost---ahhh, i can only hope it was JDGreen instead of Black
another sip of------------tea
peace
