Sometimes the events in our world can be rather overwhelming. A police officer from a neighboring city was killed in the line of duty. This happened in a city of fewer than 70,000 people. Cop killings are not common, here. The surrounding area is shaken up, as you might expect. Then, I see the attached pictures posted on Facebook and I realize that there are people who care about such things. There are people who do things not only because they can, but because they care. Check out the pictures!

Why the Two Hour Delay?

Here in western Indiana most of the schools and daycare facilities have been operating in February on a two hour delay. Why? Because the two hour delay gives mother nature time to warm up and for the sun to rise up so we can see what we are doing. A two hour delay means a 25% loss of productivity. (Keep reading, Mitch) Parents, it means that you're getting 25% less child care for your money! It may be interesting that in Illinois, just a few miles to the west, a two hour delay is rare. Why? Because it's a hour earlier already! So what? It's proof that Indiana is in the wrong time zone! For practical reasons we should be on central time (all year) It works for Chicago. It works for St. Louis. It could work for Indianapolis.
