I'm a Hoosier transplanted to FL and I miss the look and smell of farm country in Indiana terribly. (Yes, even the dead skunks and the "fertilizer"!) I love love love the Indiana photos.

When my family forcibly relocated me from a downtown metro area to Radleys home county I kinda freaked. Everyone had on seed company and John Deere hats. I had zero idea who the hell John Deere was, I thought it was some hillbilly band.

Nice one. I like the composition, too, with the lines of the fence in the foreground seeming to parallel the line of trees in the background. Nice one.

If you can't subdue a 70+ year old woman without resorting to a taser, you don't belong on the force. via hullabaloo A great-grandmother from the Hill Country has taken on legal representation after being tasered and jailed for resisting arrest. Last Monday, 72-year-old Kathryn Winkfein was driving home to Granite Schoals after her bi-weekly shopping trip to Austin when she was pulled over by a Travis County Constable deputy. According to authorities, she'd been doing 60 down a 45-mph construction zone on Highway 71 near Bee Creek. The officer wrote out a ticket to Winkfein and asked her to sign the stub, explaining that her signature wasn't an admission of guilt, but rather a promise to show up for a future court appearance. Winkfein, allegedly belligerent over the matter, refused to sign and asked the officer to take her to jail. continued...
