Morning Leni! Had to do a little lab work this morning....SO passed the "garage" coming and going. WIsh I could have stopped twice, but Indiana is very strick at the polls here. Light rain here..... there was an actual line at my voting place....Most people could wait inside the building. Turn out is high...partly because of property tax referendum....Don't know how that will play....for years the German farmers in the area voted "D"....Many have switched parties and are running on the "R" ticket, but who knows how many that will influence!

Many of our "D"s are more conservative than the Rinos that get elected.....Go figure!

You must live in northern Indiana. The northern half has a German/Yankee feel to it and the southern half has a Southern feel to it. Even the accents are different. And I do mean half. Even in Indianapolis the north side feels Yankee and the south side feels Southern. One time I was there for the Indy 500 and just crossing 16th street bisecting Indianapolis near the Speedway I had that feeling. Maybe it was just a wild imagination but when I crossed from the north side of the street to the south side it felt like going from a Yankee country to Johnny Reb country. It sounds silly but that is the way it actually felt.
