Comments on: Productivity after all… http://abbysyarns.com/2007/08/productivity-after-all Because one way or another, it's all about yarn.

I'm a lifelong hoosier, and have had to drive across Ohio on a trip ti New Jersey for a dance national comepition for my dauther, and both ways I thought the state of Ohio would never end. Then follow that up with the entire length of Pennsylvania, the only thing that kept me awake was the fancy rest stops in Pennsylvania(and a longing to detour to Hershey for a chocolate factory tour). And we have more than corn. In true redneck fashion we have not only the Indy 500, but our own Nascar race. I live in Martinsville, which is probably really southern Indiana. Between Bloomington and Indy. Down here we have rolling hills, beautiful forests, Lake Monroe, and we have John Mellencamp. As for the corn....nothing tastes better with those melons than sweet corn fresh from the field. Oh, don't forget Santa Clause, Indiana with holiday world and we do observe daylight savings time now, be we all hate it. We're rebels here, don't ya know! P.S. for a long time we had to go to Kentucky for the good fireworks. We've moved up in the world (rofl) I must protest!

The crow has been replaced, but we still have the Corn commercials. I've only seen a few Raper's RV commercials, they're north of me. And it isn't flat south of Indianapolis, quite exciting down here.

I was walking to pick up my car the other day, thinking how cool it was. It was 91. It had been 102 just 2 days before. I can identify with the “cool” temperatures.

But yes, it is sort of a black hole to Buckeyes. I've only been across the border once and that was on work business. Flat. boring.

It is only the proud Perry County (from whence I hail) that refuses to recognize daylight savings time, not the entire state of Indiana! Which can be very confusing and a common question is "are we on the same time?" Au contraire!

Now I live too far into KY to make a jaunt out for some. Our KY Bluegrass is lookin mighty sick as most other state's grass and crops around us. Oh my, those batts are gorgeous.
