A large billboard on I-65 near Indianapolis made it clear to all drivers that Darwinian evolution was wrong.
(Oregon/Indiana) - I went back to Indiana to visit relatives and old friends this past week. Have you ever noticed how many Hoosiers (what people from Indiana are called) there are in Oregon? Not nearly as many as former Californians, but more than might otherwise be expected.
Why (you might ask yourself) are there so many people from Indiana eager to relocate in Oregon? Some people are born in Indiana and find after they grow up that they just don't fit.
Let me give you some examples.
For me to get an internet connection where my mother lives I had to drive 30 miles to a public library. Most of the people I talked to (including my family) "just didn't get computers." There are times when computers overwhelm me, too, I suppose, but not enough to live in a technology black-out zone.
Then my mother's neighbor lectured me about why Obama's plan was going to fail. He told me it was in the Bible "just as plain as day."

After returning our car rental my wife and I sat in a van waiting to go to the airport. The driver was waiting on another traveler to finish a cigarette. The driver said to me that the laws about smoking in Indiana had changed. He said that it was no longer legal to smoke in restaurants.
I told him that I was in a restaurant just the day before and a couple of people were filling the air with side-stream smoke which I didn't appreciate. (My father died of lung cancer from smoking.)
The driver said, "Well, you can smoke if it's okay with the restaurant owner." How nice that the restaurant owner gets to make the decision as to whether I get to breath cancer-causing side-stream smoke.
See why I live in Oregon?
