Indiana: The Good, The Bad, and The Weird

 All right, I did another one of those five-hour days with about 10 minutes for a break, and I paid for it. When I went to Family Services to put in my app for health insurance, I about fell asleep in their chair. I do not fall asleep in chairs. On the way back, I stopped at the convenience store and walked back here. That was around two. I took the nap I had been wanting around 3 PM, and got back up around four-thirty. Not sure where the last two hours went - a shower, and I started dinner, and oh, yeah, I checked my email.

Turns out, someone complained about one of my posts not meeting community standards. Blogger notified me of this in its usual gnomic style. I looked at the community standards and I looked at the post without ever understanding what I had done wrong. Now, I await their review.

Let us turn to the topic of this post, my home state.

The Good:

Gavel meets canvas: New exhibit brings Indiana’s county courthouses to life in 92 works of art (Indiana Capital Chronicle). Delaware and Madison County both get mentioned.

One painting, of the historic Madison County Courthouse, sat in storage at the Anderson Library for years before Church arranged its donation. His father had originally gifted the piece in honor of Church’s late mother, a trustee of the library.

 Some courthouses were painted by professionals, others by hobbyists. Some depict newly built justice centers, like those in Marion or Floyd counties, while others capture long-lost historic courthouses — like Delaware County’s original building, replaced in the 1960s.

 The Bad

8 Indiana Problems No One Talks About—Until It’s Too Late (newberry-news.com). Certainly not talked about by the state legislature, which is more interested in banning abortion and property tax relief.

Indiana Cemetery Goes MAGA And The Internet Can't Believe It: 'That Is So Bleak'. As if we needed anything more to make us look ignorant.

The Weird

We tried 12 wild Indiana State Fair dishes and ranked them from worst to best (IndyStar). I guess State Fair food by definition is weird.
