On Sun, 5 Jul 2020 13:01:52 -0400, Ken Hart big snip From a photographer's viewpoint, Indiana offers a lot of opportunity if you like old barns, abandoned old cars and farm equipment rusting in fields, and interesting rural scenes. I've photographed all the interesting rural scenes. Because of the state's vehicle registration (price based on book value of the vehicle), most of those old cars are still being driven. And the farm equipment is on the highways when I'm trying to get to work! I spent most of my working life in the specialty surgical instrument field, and my job in that field sent me back to Indiana. I called on surgeons from Layfayette down to the Ohio River. In those days, there was a local, independent, restaurant in every town. Good food and really excellent choice of pie in each. Most of us live, at first, where our parents happened to be. After that, it's usually employment that has us move to some other state. Most people don't have much choice of where the live until they retire. Employment moved me to Florida, but I stayed after retirement. 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 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. Dunno where you are in Indiana...but no cable internet? Boonville or further west? In the middle of Jasper, Petersburg, and Washington. No cable service. Years ago before cable internet was common, there was a system in this small town, but then the cable company converted everyone to DirecTV. -- Ken Hart |
