  Does Terre Haute still have that smell? Been a while since I’ve been there but when my wife was in school at ISU, I distinctly remember that funk of the wind was blowing right.

    Thankfully, no. The paper plant closed down. Instead we now have a performance space that hosted Ted Nugent a couple of months ago. And we’re getting a casino for some reason.

      My condolences. But at least it wasn’t Trump, gotta find that silver lining where you can.

        No, but Vigo County used to be a bellwether. It voted for the winner in every election for something like 80 years. Then it went for Trump in 2020.

      Just out of curiosity, do you know the name of the paper mill?

        It was owned by International Paper.

  I almost moved to Terrible Hole for a while … I still wound up in Indiana, though, so I guess it was moot.

    Depends on where in Indiana. We grew up in Bloomington and have many friends there and it’s a decent town overall, even though it’s in Indiana, so we’d love to move there. We can’t afford a house there, but it’s a nice dream.

      Shit, prices there are skyrocketing, aren’t they. Are they trying to catch up with Seattle?

        It’s not Seattle bad, but you’re lucky if you can find a small house for less than half a million and our house is probably worth a third of that.

  Depends on you. My community sucks but I enjoy gardening, grafting, hiking, hunting for delicious mushrooms, bird watching, boating and building stuff. Not to mention flying and fishing.

    I don’t really like most of that, but I do like exploring diverse cultures. And I can do that if I just drive a little. Which is a hell of a lot cheaper than backpacking through Europe.
