Someone sent this to me a few months ago. The home I was raised in was very close to the Indianapolis Speedway. I have been inside the track and watch a few races there. Still, I never realized how big the Speedway is.
When you are driving by the Speedway, you can only drive by two sides, the south and west sides. From the street, it does not look this big.
If you work near the Indianapolis International Airport, chances are you know about The Airport Deli. If not, I’m here to tell you. I love this little restaurant located on Indianapolis’ westside.
Coverted from a small bungalow home, it is a quaint little place and everyone is very friendly.
It’s a great place to grab a quick lunch, with easy access from the airport and businesses around the airpark. My favorite is the warm pastrami sandwich, while my daughter likes the chicken salad with marinated vegetables. Homemade potato chips, made on site, are a rare treat and homemade soup du jour served daily.
They are only open for lunch, Monday thru Friday, 10–4.

Reading this years awards made me feel a bit smarter and provided a great laugh. Unfortunately, they are true……………..or are they? You have to wonder!
The 2007 Darwin Awards
Yes, it’s that magical time of year again when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us.
Here is the glorious winner:
1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in California, would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
And now, the honorable mentions:
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine and, after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef’s claim was approved.
3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.
5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer… $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?]
7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he’d just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious.. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, “Yes, officer, that’s her. That’s the lady I stole the purse from.”
9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in , at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn’t open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren’t available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away. A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER]
10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near pilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home’s sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he’d ever had.
In the interest of bettering mankind, please share these with your friends and family… unless of course one of these individuals by chance is a distant relative or long-lost friend. In that case, be glad they are distant and hope they remain lost.
*** Remember… They walk among us!!!
Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

Bush Stadium stands as a remnant of what it once was. In the glory days of it’s youth, the stadium was revered as one of the finest ball fields in Minor League baseball. As former home to the Indianapolis Indians, and the Indianapolis Clowns Negro League team, Bush Stadium was most recently used as midget car race track. Today, it has been vacant for eight years and is owned by Indy Parks.
Although just a remnant, it still stands. Now, the question is what to do with the building which was once filled with baseball fans. For many, the building and grounds are an eyesore, while others want to see it remain. The city is not prepared for the cost of rehabbing the building and it is unlikely the stadium will ever be used for sports again. The chances of it being demolished are slim, since the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
There has been much talk about what to do with the stadium in the last few months. Much of the speculation has the building remodeled and used in some fashion for life science facilities. The buildings location along White River at 16th Street makes for a quick trip to IUPUI and medical facilities like Wishard Memorial, Indiana University Medical Center and Riley Childrens Hospital.
Whatever it becomes, I hope the original building remains as part of the new plans.

After recently purchasing a new camera, I lost the lens cover. A scratched lens does not a pretty picture make, so I headed to a local camera shop to see if I could find a replacement. I did find a replacement and also found the manager, Bill, to be most helpful.
My new camera is foreign to me and taking great pictures in different lighting has been an education. Bill recommended a few items for my camera, one was a protective cover for my lens which helps reduce glare and at the same time, acts to protects the lens.
While, I have had great success with indoor pictures of my clients homes and landscape pictures, night photography has been a challenge, so I bought a tripod and he suggested I use my remote.
I am still learning about photography, as well as my new camera, so Bill suggested a book which covers everything about my camera in plain english. No technical babble! It’s like the camera book for dummies. Now, that is not the name of the book, but it is essentially the same thing and all about my particular camera. They also have videos, in addition to books on many different cameras.
