That's the attitude you get when you post at two o'clock in the morning and are tired and frustrated. I feel a little bad about that rant. Not that its not all too horribly true, but still, focusing on the bad doesn't help.

So now I have to say something nice about Indiana.

Hmm...

Well... we have very pretty mornings. Mostly because we haven't managed to foul the air as badly as we have the water...yet. That wasn't very good, was it? Wait, I'll try again.

OK...(sigh)...umm...

We have a great library, even though its perpetually under fiscal attack. A little negative, I get half credit for that one.

Ooohh! We have great funnel cakes at the fair. We also have some of the highest rates of heart disease. Its probably not connected though.

In all seriousness, we have wonderful local produce from great farmers. And we have a surprisingly vibrant arts community for a city of this size.

Look at me, touting Indiana.

Make a note in your diary; this probably won't happen again.
