NASHVILLE, Ind. -- Officials in the rustic southern Indiana tourist town of Nashville are ordering a store owner to repaint a bright blue window frame.

Nashville's nine-member Development Review Commission has told the owners of J Bob's that they have until Aug. 1 to repaint the window frame to a more appropriate color.

The owner's daughter said her 79-year-old father repainted the window before leaving for a winter vacation in Florida. She said her mother got a call complaining about the color and thought the whole thing was silly.

The president of the Development Review Commission said they are coming up with a palate of acceptable colors for the town.

J Bob's sells merchandise including hot sauce and troll dolls to tourists who arrive each fall to look at the changing leaves.

[Mr. Lucky]

No sir, but my family has been in Jackson Township since 1835.

Ooops!

Some of mine were present at the founding of Vincinnes and Fort Valonia/Alexander (in the 1700s). Supposedly one of our ancestors was the very first owner of Weed Patch Hill (and that's about 1835). His father carved a chest (which we still have) when he lived in Detroit when it had only 100 families.

Odds are good that we are cousins elebenteenzillion different ways.

[Mr. Lucky]

Everybody in them parts is cousins. Sometimes by more branches of the family tree than admitted in polite company.

Lots of two way and three-way cousins!
