Then there was none…

September 19, 2016 by johnnoltner

Asheville is out of gas. It’s gone. Sold out. Nada. Nothing. I rolled into town today and installed my exhibit at UNC. I hadn’t been paying attention to the news. I hadn’t heard that the Colonial Pipeline had ruptured in Helena, Alabama, effecting delivery from Houston to New York. I arrived with 1/8 tank of gas.

In the @minnesotapublicradio studio today with Steve Staruch to record a session of #musicwithminnesotans. It will air Friday at 3:30p on 99.5 in the Twin Cities market. ( A little sad I didn't get to see the #mprraccoon )

It's the third Father's Day without my dad...but I can see him in my life every day. Happy Father's Day to all the dads, father figures, role models, grandpas, big brothers, uncles, and anyone else who stepped in when a dad could't or wouldn't be there. #fathersday #remembering #apeaceofmymind
