Five things I learned about Indiana
Monday, April 30th, 2007 08:11 pm1) The state flower is the dandelion. People don't have lawns. They just have dandelion fields mown down to the correct height.
2) Lines on the road are optional. Lines at intersections telling you where to stop are optional too.
3) You can be going down the highway and at any moment, without warning, you can find yourself on an off ramp going somewhere else.
4) There are no signs warning you that a lane is about to end or which side of the four lane road you need to be on to get onto the highway. That's okay because everyone in Indiana is use to that and understands if you suddenly need to cut across four lanes of traffic. They won't even honk at you for it.
5) The DOT for Indiana has no idea how to do road construction of any sort without shutting down the highway. No seriously.
I'm going to make an entry about my graduate program and how everything went, but my brain is crispy. I will say that the meeting with my boss went well. Yeah!
