The NPS is conducting prescribed burns in the Indiana Dunes National Park to prevent forest fires from having fuel when conditions dry out in the summer.

There is a burned area that looks better than the unburned areas on E 5th from County Line Road in Miller near Woodlake Village. All the invasive plants and dead leaves have been converted into carbon, but the natural trees are still standing.

Someone who battled Mad Max after he insulted a woman, recalls the event.

"He danced around on his soapbox ... and alternated between reading scriptures from his beat-up old bible and rebuking random members of the audience. ... I admit I laughed at the spectacle too, until Brother Max walked up to a young sorority girl proudly displaying three Deltas on her pink sweatshirt, and said, 'Yooooouuu are a prostitute, and yer going to hell if you don’t repent.'”

Brother Max - David Goad

“You’re aaaallll sinners! Repent before it’s too late!!”  I turned to see where the voice was coming from.  I was late for my freshman psychology lecture, but I had to see what was going on.  There in the middle of the grass mall was a large circle of 50 students with a skimmer straw hat…

The albino deer walking in Northwest Indiana this morning.

There was another one in the area a few years ago. It died after being hit by a car on Main Street in Crown Point after darting into the road.. The ashes are buried in a garden in a Crown Point, Indiana, United Methodist Church.

They are rare, like 1 in 30,000 rare. I wonder if this one is related to the other one.

I have dash cam footage I will screen capture.

Norfolk Southern denies making a commitment.
