Weird things about Indiana:
1. What the hell is a "Hoosier"?

why is that weird?

2. "Fast Time" and "Slow Time". The northwest and southwest counties are
on Central time, the remainder of the state is Eastern time. Until a
couple years ago, the west counties on EST did not observe DST.

dst needs to go away.

it's one thing indiana had correct but later ****ed up.

3. Santa Claus, Indiana. French Lick, Indiana. English, Indiana.
Tasmania, Indiana.

there are plenty of places with weird names all over the world,
including asylum and intercourse, pennsylvania.

or this one:

4. Huntingburg, IN, the Hollywood of the midwest. "Hard Rain" and "A
League of Their Own" were filmed in this town of 6000 people. Never saw
either movie. Christian Slater finished filming, and began his 90 day
jail sentence the day after the premiere of Hard Rain. Were you in on
that arrest?
5. In Spencer county, there is a Abe Lincoln National Park. Across the
street, there is an Abe Lincoln State Park. The National Park is free.
The state park charges $10, but you can go boating there, just as Abe
would have done.

yawn.

6. The weather. As they say in Indiana: "If you don't like the weather,
wait five minutes."

they say that for just about everywhere.

I¹ve lived in 4 different cities in the United States and somebody
always says ³If you don¹t like the weather, wait five minutes!² as if
the weather always changes just in their particular area.

The weather changes all the time, everywhere. Your location isn¹t
that special. Besides, there have been days where the weather was
unlikeable and it took weeks to change!

however, in the san francisco bay area with its microclimates, they say
drive a few miles. the difference between san francisco proper and the
valley can be 20-30 degrees and roughly twice that for the interior
valley.

Good things about Indiana:
1. Indiana Military History Museum in Vincennes. $7 gets you access to a
fantastic display of military equipment in realistic settings, including
a French ambulance that the French government would like to have back.
Three times a year (pre-C-19) they did re-enactments, $3 parking fee.
The last WW-I event included a strafing run during the battle. I assume
there were no live rounds!

that's the best thing about indiana???

If you get to Pennsylvania, stop in. I can show you the Statue of
Liberty in the Susquehanna River upstream from Harrisburg, and where
antifa threatened to burn the Flag at Gettysburg National Cemetary, but
thought better of it when they saw all the bikers with bullets.

i see ignorance knows no bounds.

I suspect my internet speed in Pennsylvania will be similar to here for
DSL, but I will also have cable available. I'm told cable is much
faster, when it is working.

dsl is obsolete.

cable is much faster, however, it's asymmetrical.

the future is wireless.
