I just started a thread in the "Anthng Goes" forum, called New Inventions in our Lifetime.....
thought it would be interesting to find out other stuff that people have thought was too good to be true, but now we just take for granted....

Sue, I'll go over and check out your new thread. I'm sure I could think of all kinds of things.
Thanks for your post, and thanks in advance for starting that new thread. :)

Hi David and everyone! ;D
I've been working on some things for a new MySpace group and thought you might like to have some more Indiana-related items on your thread! LOL, I've been up all night and most of today writing and grabbing images.
I haven't had time to read all the earlier posts so please forgive me if I have duplicated thoughts or images already posted above. If you find any mistakes, someone please let me know. :o
Here is a map showing Indiana (IN) in relationship to the rest of the continental U.S. The blue line is U.S. Highway 40 which passes directly through downtown Indianapolis as “Washington Street” and crosses the country. “40” is also known as the “old national road” or “American’s Golden Highway”. The small town I grew up in is located on "40" and as a child I had to cross the four-lane highway to pick up the mail.
Indiana is considered one of the Great Lakes States though less than 50 miles of it’s northwest corner are bordered by Lake Michigan.

Yes, Indiana has beaches, forests and some hilly terrain, but no mountains.
Here's a random fun shot, courtesy of the Indiana Beach website.
This is Indiana Beach, located in Monticello Indiana on Lake Shafer.
As you may remember, I work for Indiana University. Specifically IUPUI, so here are some IU-related items:
Here is an aerial shot of the main IU campus, located in Bloomington Indiana. IU was established in approximately 1820 and has some beautiful old buildings.
IU is comprised of eight campuses scattered throughout the state, and I work at the “commuter campus” named Indiana University – Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). IUPUI’s extension campus is located at Columbus Indiana, so technically there are nine campuses.
IUPUI was created in 1969 and is (as paraphrased from Wikipedia) the urban research campus of Indiana University located in Indianapolis, Indiana. IUPUI offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees from both Indiana University and Purdue University.
This is our team logo. I hope it's not too large - don't be scared.
Meet Jinx the Jaguar. *ROWR!*
IUPUI is bound on three sides by water and is now expanding northward past 10th Street/Fall Creek. This map is not the most up-to-date so it doesn't show the new law school or Herron School of Art.
This is the Rotary Building, my favorite campus building.
This is an artists’ drawing of the new campus student center, which is currently under construction.
Congrats on your thread! Take care.

Imagine if you were having lunch in a table directly behind them! It would be hard not to laugh. :laugh: :laugh:

David -
I wasn't sure if I could face your board today because my beloved Colts almost blew it! But since they pulled out a win, I can face my fellow Hoosiers and others with a smile on my face!
The day is beautiful here! I am guessing it is even more so in Indy. Nothing is more breathtaking than seeing the blue sky against the changing leaves. But what I understand .... this beauty will be short lived. Apparently rain and snow mix is expected by the end of this week. Hmmmmm .... it's so great living in Indiana! :-\
