23M moving for work

I’m a 23M moving for work at the start of July. I’m from Arkansas and have never stepped foot in Indiana.

I’m very social and want to land on my feet once I move. I know no one or nothing. I’ve looked at Fountain Square, but also can live anywhere south of Indy. Any town. I’ve heard a lot about BR but it seems to be a little artsy fartsy for me (correct me if I’m wrong). I’m looking at Bloomington but want to get away from the college town hardcore partying, but want to have fun here and there. Also looked at Greenwood.

Money isn’t a problem, moving for a promotion.

I love nature. Not the fancy trails, the real stuff.

I want to be close to bars as well as people in my age group. I’d like to be able to find a good Baptist church as well. Sorry, I’m a southerner. (Yes i know baptist aint supposed to drink but cut some slack. Work is stressful)

I’m also a frequent deer and duck hunter and want to be within an hour of WMA’s.

I have 0 people to help me out here.

I’m open to any and everything.

Apparently the BMV isn't reading personal plate apps.

I spotted this in Columbia City. Apparently they aren't reading stuff forwards and backwards before approving stuff. I'm not mad at this. I think it's simultaneously hilarious and creative. Also TIL Indiana has a Down Syndrome Awareness plate.

Trump-backed candidate seeks recount in Indiana Senate race with 3-vote margin • Indiana Capital Chronicle

“participation in the Republican primary by individuals not qualified to vote in the Republican primary violated state law and undermined the will of Hoosier Republicans.”

Is this a law? It is my understanding that the primary is open to voting for whoever you want. There is no independent ballad

Someone shot my cat with a pellet gun

July 12, 2020 my cat had a circle puncture wound that I took him to the vet for. They cleaned it and gave him antibiotics and it was fine. Yesterday he developed a limp, so I took him in for an xray. They found a pellet in him above his spine right where the circle puncture wound was. Does anyone know if it’s too late to report this? I have a good idea who it was, but no concrete proof.

EDIT: Do I let my cat outside? No. Has my cat ESCAPED in the past? Yes. He travels at the speed of light unfortunately.

Thank you for all the helpful replies.

Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis 💜

I took way more photos than just these, but I think these were my favorites. I absolutely love walking this trail on chilly mornings that turn into beautiful afternoons. This will probably be my last hike until it cools down again in the fall.

Indiana is so gorgeous. (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

Can any wildlife experts ID this nest? Found it while mowing.

Eggs are slightly bigger than a golf ball, so too big for your standard backyard feeder bird.

Plus being on the ground is a big sign, though I’m unsure which species these could be. Best guess is duck or goose, but I’m not really sure.

Location: West of Brownsburg.

Tent Camping in IN (away from RVs)

Hi Hoosiers! My 4- and 6-year-old boys are super eager to go tent camping, but we don't want to end up on a site surrounded by RVs (with their generators and all the noise they create). Do you have any recommendations for IN-based camping sites that have separate tent areas (or are for tents only)? We are based in Brownsburg near Indy, so can easily drive virtually anywhere in the state for a weekend. Thank you!

Indiana sent plenty of soldiers to the Civil War, but for a few days in 1863, the Civil War sent soldiers into Indiana. They called it Morgan's Raid, and if you don't know this story, it's definitely worth the read.

Indiana truly is the middle finger of the South.

Challenger (Copenhaver) files petition for recount in state senate race. Lawmaker (Delaney) calls for Diego Morales to recuse himself from the process due to conflict of interest.

With an election this close (3 votes), a recount seems normal. But several things highlighted in the article suggest it could get messy. Keep in mind that the candidate works for Micah Beckwith's office - not known for respecting norms or fair practice (per his threats to use state power against entities that are critical of him.)

What jumped out from my read of the article:

The role of Diego Morales, who as Secretary of State should be (or someone from his office) involved in oversight, but who has potential conflict of interest on behalf of one of the candidates. This challenge comes a month or so before the gop convention which will vote to select the Sec of State nominee - Morales vs a challenger.

The reason given for possibly disqualifying votes/voters is the vague language that started floating around who can and can't vote in Indiana open primaries. The challenges could be legit (ex. someone who doesn't live in the district), or get vague per not being "eligible" per party affiliation type reasons, despite there being no status as party registration in Indiana. These will be the reasons used in the legislature to try to "close" our primary system in the future.
