I’ve lived in different East Nashville neighborhoods throughout the last 20 years and have always been puzzled by the logic of our brilliant police force and their sense of traffic control, but now that I’m in the east bank area near the stadium they are literally making me craaaazy!! I went for a Saturday afternoon joyride on my small motorbike (not interstate legal) last week and wound up meeting some friends out at Percy Warner Park. Later that evening, I knew I’d have to fight the downtown chaos to get back over the KV bridge but of course when I get there… the entire bridge is closed! I turn myself around and try to stay positive, fight more downtown madness to get to the woodland bridge, and of course it’s closed as well. At this point I’m just irritated and stop and tell one of the cops where I live and ask how I’m supposed to get home. She looks at me dumbfounded and just says “I’m not really sure” I tell her they’re making things worse and right in front of her, some asshole in a tinted muscle car comes literally inches from plowing right into me.

I finally made it home via Main Street, but not before spending over an hour rerouting through pedestrian and vehicle madness. Nothing about it felt safe and I truly cannot understand the logic. I really believe they are making things worse.

Also, side note: earlier that same day I saw two police cars parked side by side in front of the stadium at the bottom of the Shelby bridge facing the road, blue lights flashing. They were obviously monitoring traffic, the officers were standing beside their cars. The weird thing was the Waymo car parked in line beside them with a flashing blue late placed on top also facing the street. It was as if the Waymo had been turned into a police car. Is this a new surveillance tactic? Does metro have a deal with Waymo that they can have free rein of our city as long as they can be pulled as surveillance when they need them?

I got a new phone last week. I went home and went to log back into instagram and couldn’t remember my password. They sent a link to my phone, I reset my password. The next thing they ask for is an authentication code or number that I set up once upon a time. I have NEVER set up an authentication code or number, so it’s impossible for me to verify using that. I did the account recovery which offers to send me a different code and it just takes me around in circles with the authentication nonsense. I select account recovery again and it gives me the “take a video selfie” option. I take the video selfie and they say they can’t verify my identity!

I’ve tried it a million times. I’m not a techie guy (clearly). I have no computer and I have no WiFi at home. Am I literally just forever locked out of my instagram account??? It’s the one social platform that I really use and would like back in!

Help please??!!

I’m a traditional old time fiddler in the American south. I’m pretty well connected in Ireland and have met many Scottish fiddlers as well. Love their traditional music very much. Where else?

I just got a new phone and can’t sign back into my instagram account. It keeps taking me in circles. I don’t remember the original password so I changed it. When I sign in it asks for an authentication number which I’ve never set up. I keep doing the facial recognition and the damn robots can’t seem to recognize me. I don’t have a beard or a mustache or anything different. My hair is the same color and my weight has always been pretty consistent. I’ve had verification numbers both texted to me and sent to two separate emails. One of them is the email my account is attached to. Why can’t I log back in???
