Conversation heard on the bus, Tues evening:

student 1 - Her family lives way far away from here.
student 2 - in indiana?
student 1 - yeah, but in the norther corners or something. really far.
student 2 - probably not on the chicago side.
student 1 - yeah, probably more on the new york side.

Now I don't claim to be a geography genius, but last time I checked, Indiana didn't have a New York side. In fact, at least two states (and Canada, depending on whether you go due East or Northeast) usually separate us from NY state.

Ask Bertie. She is from NY state, and I'm pretty sure it takes her over 7 hours to get home. I understand the desire to pass over Ohio and even Pennsylvania. They are terrors to drive through, such boring landscape and such wide states.

But Indiana does not have a New York side. Just wanted Dumb & Dumber to know that.

Oh, and having family within the state of Indiana does not qualify them for living really far away. Oregon is really far away, as is Maine (which is where one of my friends is from). But not within Indiana. Nope. Try again.
