Nov 4

Used to get back quite often until my mom passed back in 2020 and my dad had to be moved out of his house in 2022. I was over the moon back in 2008 when Indiana went for Obama largely on the strength of turn out in "The Region".

Before he moved dad was quite fond of calling it "Indianastan" because of the administrations of Daniels and Pence, two men he loathed with all of his heart! He was particularly pissed about the state of the roads in Northwest IN and the Toll Road issues!
