In fact it is a lovely state. I grew up in a small town in Indiana, went to high school there, and, in summers, taught sailing at Culver Military Academy on Lake Maxinkuckee, about 50 miles south of South Bend. I even toyed with the idea of going to Notre Dame but I had the wrong religion. My son got an MBA from the U. of Indiana in Bloomington, one of the best state universities in the country. See the movie "Breaking Away" to get an idea of what Bloomington looks like. My niece had a horse farm in Evansville. The southern part of the state is warm and humid in the summers and greenery flourishes. As long as people eat, the bountiful farms will do well. We used to go sailing and camping in the large Brown County state park. The northern part gets a lot of lake effect snow in the winter, great for sledding but a bit flat for downhill skiing. Chris is particularly selective in the photos he posts on the LUG. The economy of Indiana is much better than in surrounding states in the rust belt. If you want to see signs of a real economic disaster, go to Michigan or Ohio. Larry Z
