    Does Terre Haute still have that smell? Been a while since I’ve been there but when my wife was in school at ISU, I distinctly remember that funk of the wind was blowing right.

      Thankfully, no. The paper plant closed down. Instead we now have a performance space that hosted Ted Nugent a couple of months ago. And we’re getting a casino for some reason.

        My condolences. But at least it wasn’t Trump, gotta find that silver lining where you can.

          No, but Vigo County used to be a bellwether. It voted for the winner in every election for something like 80 years. Then it went for Trump in 2020.

            I definitely assume that this county is named for Vigo the Carpathian, the Sorrow of Moldova.

              You know what annoys me? Half the people here pronounce it “Vai-go.” like rhymes with ‘eye.’ Did they not watch Ghostbusters II?
