I'm a little homesick so I'm Googling for information on my hometown back in Indiana.

History of Lagrange county
More history
Photos of courthouse and Amish buggies
Pictures of Indiana buildings and historic sights
History of the Amish in Indiana, written by my old newspaper colleague Dave Bainbridge
An interesting archaelogical report on Lagrange county
Looks like they might get a spiffy new library!
My high school
Politicians who were born, lived, and died in Lagrange county
A report on a possible link between drinking nitrate-contaminated well water and spontaneous abortions among Lagrange county women
History of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana, including photo from 1998 Lagrange rally

Okay, those last few aren't so nice.

I've been majorly homesick for a couple of weeks now, ever since they started playing Christmas music on the radio around here. The other day I spent several hours on the National Weather Service website looking at the history of Fort Wayne's weather, and pictures from the various weather catastrophies throughout the years. I'm also back to checking Fortwayne.com every day to get my NE Indiana local news fix. I log onto homes.com to look at the price of Allen County real estate, and figure how much house I can afford if I were to move back (and take a huge cut in pay). And -- probably my most embarassing admission of all -- I recently subscribed to two years of Fort Wayne Magazine. I'm sure my mailwoman thinks I'm crazy.

Sigh. I've seen several instances of folks like me who move to different parts of the country (or world), only to find themselves right back in Indiana again several years later. You can take the Hoosier out of Indiana, but you can never take the Indiana out of the Hoosier. Or something. ;P

I just misread one of your links as "Photos of courthouse and Amish buggers". Those Amish buggers!!

Now all I have to do is mop up the coffee I just sprayed everywhere...

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
