Rep. Frank Nicely posted the below picture on his Facebook page, and, with his express permission, I am sharing it with you.

Nicely is running for the District 8 Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Mike Faulk, and faces 3 other Republicans in the August 2 primary. I don’t in any way mean to wade into picking favorites in this race, but I heartily endorse this behavior as a citizen of Tennessee:

A Facebook commenter identifies the body of water as the French Broad River. Nicely identified the man on the right as Charles Williamson, who’s running for House of Representatives in District 50.
