New leader in growth of solar is...Indiana??

Having grown up in Indiana, I am startled to see this:
"Indiana’s solar capacity nearly doubled last year as the state trailed only Texas and California in the total amount of new capacity brought online."

I once worked at a USPS remote encoding center in Gary processing unreadable addresses one Christmas season as a temp in the 1990s.

The old building is now a charter school across the street from a senior midrise building.

The shift started in the evening with incoming mail then ended when outgoing mail was processed.

I enjoyed this job, but only did it for a couple of months.

One REC remains b/c computers can read most handwriting.

Porter County, Indiana, has a program to help train police officers how to respond to people with autism during traffic stops. County officials want the program to go statewide.

Bloomington has started the program recently.

Tried to bicycle to Peterson and the wind kicked my butt and I wasn't dressed for a much colder wind than I was prepared for.

Of course it was a headwind both ways.

I have a cousin who did much more racing type bicycling in Indiana and he said they never said the "W" word because it seemed to cause it to happen whenever anyone said it.

It's going to be a mess for a while for people going to and from Chicago from Northwest Indiana, but the Bishop Ford Expressway (I-94) was breaking apart and eating car tires.

Take the South Shore train, if you can.
