  1. Indiana Historical Society indianahistory.org just ended a bunch of positions and fired people with no warning. It's one of the few places that I have never even tried to partner with around here, because I know they're a hot mess when it comes to the executives and board. But wow. So goddamn low.

    I feel deeply for all those hurt by yet another failure of leadership and trust.

  14. The Story Behind Indiana’s Famous Nickname - Hoosier

    indianahub.org/whats-a-hoosier/

    Story I heard growing up, likely from my grandmother: Back in the frontier days, a stranger from another area came knocking on a cabin door. The person inside said, "Who's There?" The person knocking thought they were introducing themselves. (Everybody had different dialects back then) From then on they became known as the Hoosiers.

  19. Anyone tried Vitour tires for autocross?

    They seem to be popular locally, sticky but wear well. Being referred to as the 'cheaters of cheaters'. Banned in SCCA I'm told? One of our local drivers did well this last weekend.

    They didn't have the size that I wanted and I've changed the entire suspension so didn't want to end up with a different rolling diameter at the same time - too many changes all at once. Otherwise probably would have gone that route.

    Supposedly they don't light off quickly - if sharing a car be the second driver. 😜 🙃

  24. For fans of #Indiana, #KurtVonnegut and #Bokonon, here is a prime example of a #granfalloon. I'm posting this video of #VileIniquity, whose music makes the food in my stomach move around in unpleasant ways. Why? Because my #Hoosier daughter's friend's son plays in the band. So help me, I'll probably go to see them live next time I visit.
