In the last post, I wrote: "What we didn't realize is that in reality (and also, in Islamic law…), responsibility and power go hand in hand. What was marketed to us as freedom from responsibility ended up meaning lots of responsibilities for wives and mothers, but little actual power or resources to deal with them. And, lots of blame for failing to live up to idealized standards of "good" wife- and motherhood."
And that was the way it was. Men had responsibilities, but also the power to decide what the scope of these responsibilities was, how they were going to meet them, and when they had met them "adequately." Which meant that, in effect, we women were always in the business of taking up the slack on their behalf. But we didn't derive much if any power to determine the course of our own lives (or to make the lives of our children better) from doing so. If we managed to do it well, then we were just doing what was expected, because a "good wife" was supposed to cover her husband's shortcomings. And if we didn't manage to take up the slack , despite trying—or, god forbid! we got tired of doing so and voiced our objections to the way things were going—then this meant that whatever happened was our fault.
So, for example: The men were supposed to be responsible for providing adequate housing, food, clothing and medical care for his wife (or wives) and children. As well as for any other close female relatives (mothers, unmarried sisters, etc) who didn't have anyone else to provide for them. Earning a living and providing for the children was not ever supposed to be a legal responsibility placed on women's shoulders.
In reality, this could work out any number of ways. One scenario that I saw play out in several people's lives (including my own) went as follows: Husband had long had his eye on a particular kind of well-paying and very respectable job. He made repeated attempts to get such a job. However, statistically speaking, there were many more people applying for these jobs than positions. Most people who were applying for them had the sense to have a Plan B (if not a Plan C), employment-wise. But husband was not one of those prudent people. He didn't land the job of his dreams, so he wouldn't settle into a lesser job, not even one that had a decent salary and benefits. He worked at a series of temporary and part-time jobs (which had no benefits), and in between those jobs, he would turn to unemployment benefits or welfare.
And it was up to his wife to make it all work. To manage to make whatever money he brought in that month cover all of the family's needs. I was one of the wives who did the "stretch-every-last-dollar" dance in the second half of every month. I'd buy food at the dollar store, stuff that the kids liked and saw as treats, such as cheap "blueberry" muffin mix (and that I vainly hoped might possibly contain some nutritional value). All so that I could stretch the money we had to the end of the month, while trying not to let the kids realize that we were running very low indeed.
In those years, I developed the habit of scanning the ground whenever I walked outdoors. Looking for money, that I would use to spend on groceries. I'd pick up change. The kids and I made a game out of it, but it was serious. We were perennially short of money.
Our kids hardly ever saw a dentist growing up (and nor did we, for that matter)—there was no way that we could afford it. When someone was sick, and they needed medicine, this was a problem, because we had no drug benefits either. I was nearly always the one to take the kids to the doctor (even if my husband was home and able to do so), so it would be me having to explain that no, we don't have a drug plan, so could they please prescribe the least expensive brand. It got so that the doctors at our local clinic knew to offer us any free samples that they had lying around, when our kids needed medicine. Humiliating.
We never managed to save anything. Not even for the kids' education. Because any surplus from one month would most probably get spent during a "lean" month. Or it would be needed to buy pricier but necessary things such as shoes or winter coats (oh, how I used to dread the onset of fall, and I'd be hoping against hope that at least some of the kids hadn't grown out of their winter boots or coats… and that that pair of boots that didn't fit kid X didn't have holes in it, so kid Y might be able to wear it….) Anyway, you can't have savings if you go on welfare. Unless you're going to lie.
The husbands I knew who behaved like this didn't see anything wrong, unfair or irresponsible about this behavior. They were (as far as they were concerned) doing their best to provide for their families. That they hadn't managed to land the sorts of jobs that paid well, and provided a consistent income along with benefits was the fault of the system, they said.
They saw no problem with lying to welfare, either. These were the kuffar, so why should we tell them the truth? My ex used to get really angry with me when I would refuse to lie, and when I would say that having to go on welfare is humiliating. Why (he would rage) do you care so much about the money of the kuffar? The money that is from our taxes? [We were too poor to have to pay taxes, aside from sales tax, but anyway…] And since lots of people cheat welfare, why do you think that they will come after us??
Wives were expected to be grateful, and to manage whatever income their husbands brought in wisely and thriftily. (Which, when the husband won't make a budget or stick to it, is pretty difficult… but anyway.) There was no recognition that living from pay-check to pay-check is really exhausting, stressful and humiliating for us—especially as it went on and on, year after year. If the money wasn't going far enough, it was probably our fault. We must be spending too much. We needed to be more careful.
But there was no need for husbands to be more careful with, say, their phone bills, which were often sky-high. It was their money. They earned it. So they could decide to spend it on things they wanted, even if they couldn't really afford it.
A "smart" woman (according to my ex's ethnic community, as well as many conservative Muslims we knew) should be able to deal with such circumstances cheerfully and efficiently. She needs to spend carefully. Or (with her husband's permission, of course) she might work part-time in order to lessen her husband's onerous burden of providing for the family in this kafir society. Naturally, whatever money she made would be used for the family, so it wasn't "hers," and of course, working didn't mean that she would be any less responsible for the housework and the kids, or that she wasn't bound to serve her husband and obey him to the same degree as if he was the sole provider. If he was kind enough to help out with the kids or housework a bit more because she was working, then he was a saintly man indeed, and she needed to be even more grateful to him.
A "smart" woman who worked needed to do so in a way that wouldn't emasculate her husband. So, she should work as unobtrusively as possible, and she should try her best not to inconvenience her husband by her work schedule, or put him in the position where he would have to take a more active role with the kids or do housework (beyond "helping" occasionally, if he felt like it). She could carry out this remarkable balancing act by working from home (such as by babysitting). Or, she could work night-shifts, so that her kids would be asleep while she was at work, and they'd be at school while she slept, and she'd be at home in the afternoon when they came home from school—and the house would be clean, and dinner would be on the stove, and she could help them with their homework… before putting them to bed and heading off to work.
Working also didn't mean that her husband didn't still have (and exercise) his patriarchal prerogatives. So, he could unilaterally decide that he needed to travel back to his homeland in order to see his parents. Sure, that would mean that he would need money for plane tickets and other travel expenses, and his family would have to make do without the several weeks pay that he would likely have otherwise earned, but it was his right. He needed to maintain ties with his parents (an Islamic duty, after all), and he was a man. He was tired of working, and he needed a rest. Or, he could decide to look for another wife. After all, the wife he had was partially self-supporting already, and try as she might, she didn't have as much time for him as before, and she wasn't getting any younger. He was a man, and it was his right. His duty, in fact—after all, he didn't want to fall into the temptation to commit adultery.
And if a man went off and did these sorts of things—traveled and left his family in a very difficult financial position, or decided to marry another woman? It was assumed to be the wife's fault. If she had been truly "smart," she would have found a way to gently convince (without nagging, of course—god forbid!) her husband not to travel at this time. If she was "smart," then she would have figured out her husband's psychological workings, and found a way to keep his eyes on her and her children's welfare alone. And she would be keeping the house so clean, and cooking the food so well, and entertaining his visitors so perfectly, and raising their children so carefully, and serving him and his every need (sexual and otherwise) so attentively, that the thought of marrying another wife wouldn't even have entered his head.
So, if a man was a less-than-ideal provider, or a less-than-responsible protector, then it was probably… the wife's fault, at least mostly. She wasn't playing her role correctly. Sure, her husband wasn't exactly perfect either, but he was after all a man. With a "smart" wife, even the most lacklustre husband will shine. Or so the theory went.
Looking back at all this, what particularly strikes me is how men are let off the hook at almost every point. Men have the responsibility to provide and protect. Yet, if they make a half-assed effort in that direction that doesn't quite do the job, then all sorts of excuses will be made for them. (Especially if they spend their "spare" time doing Islamic work—then they're god-fearing brothers for sure.) A woman married to such a man must be grateful for what he is doing for her, and take up the slack as much as possible, while gently encouraging him to do even better (without nagging!). Really, whatever efforts a man would make to fulfill his responsibilities were to be applauded.
But a half-assed attempt to be an obedient wife and a good mother is nowhere near acceptable, and if the marriage falls apart, or the kids don't turn out well, the fault is… hers. A slapdash wife and mother wouldn't be given points for at least making an effort, she'd be roundly condemned as an impious, neglectful woman who wasn't taking her god-given responsibilities seriously.
Men's sexual desires provide them with status and power. They have the right to demand sex from their wives, to expect that their wives will dress attractively for them at home, to unilaterally divorce their wives, and to practice polygamy. Men whose sexual desires aren't met are being wronged by their wives, and it's understandable that such men will be tempted to sin.
Women's sexual desires are hardly spoken of, but to the extent that they are acknowledged, they don't provide women with any excuses whatsoever to fall short in their family responsibilities or in any other way. In fact, women's sexual desires are seen as an important reason why women need to be "protected" (i.e. controlled) by men at all stages of their lives.
Men have the right to make decisions about their lives unilaterally. They can travel. They can associate with whoever they want. Their time is theirs. They can spend hours hanging around the mosque, or sitting in the living room watching tv, or drinking tea and talking politics with their (male) friends, while their wife serves, deals with the kids, and cooks dinner.
We women didn't have these freedoms. And at the same time, we were being constantly reminded how lucky we were to be "protected" and "provided for"… unlike non-Muslim women.

At the top of the card, two lines of amber and brown colored seed beads (size #11) just fit on the 1/8" Scor-tape. The Scor-tape wasn't quite enough to fully secure the beads, so I left them on the cotton thread, which is taped to the back of my pale yellow top layer. The thread keeps the beads in position, and then they hold very well to the Scor-tape.
At the bottom of the card is a third line of the same seed beads (also on thread and adhered with Scor-tape) in a narrow gap between two 1/4" strips of twill tape.
The paper flower's center is made from seed beads, gently pressed into a little mound of Ranger Glossy Accents. I placed a few thin lines of Glossy Accents along the petals, to go with the shiny center. The black "frame" was drawn with a Copic 0.5 multiliner, also used to write the sentiment. (008b)

Your letters for Tuesday, May 23
Forget dandelions, you've got bigger problems
Re: "Good neighbours mow their lawns," Letter, May 13.
I was so pleased Keith Christopherson opened up the anti-dandelion season, because it gives me the opportunity to get on my bandwagon about a real weed. The dandelion is actually not.
In Calgary, we have a very serious problem with creeping bellflower. Edmonton has finally awoken to this naughty plant with a $250 fine and it can cost into four figures if the city has to come and get rid of this incredible weed for you.
If you have ever dealt with this plant, then you will understand why the costs can get so high. Herbicides do not kill it and it can take several treatments of Roundup to finally kill it. If it gets into your lawn, you will need to kill that portion.
Many people do not know what this plant looks like in its many phases. If you have a lovely, tall, mauve bluebell that has started to grow on its own in your flower bed, then you have it, and it will be lurking in other parts of the yard in one of its many forms.
It has been designated as a noxious weed in Alberta since 2010. Don't worry about the little dandelion. Get concerned about creeping bellflower.

A simple way of improving LRT safety
Re: "LRT stations may get more safety measures," May 17.
It may be hard to understand how a pedestrian could walk into the path of something as large as an approaching LRT train, but some do. These days, they are almost always distracted when using a cellphone.
The safety solutions suggested include flashing lights, bars, swinging gates and a staggered crossing, where a person has to go left and right to exit the gates onto the track.
The last method is likely to be both inexpensive and effective, based on a study I conducted for the city in 1990. The looking behaviour of 438 pedestrians at the Heritage Drive pedestrian LRT crossing was examined using videotaped recording to determine where they looked while crossing the tracks.
When staggered crossing gates were in place, nearly 35 per cent more pedestrians looked in the direction from which trains approached than was the case when no gates were installed.

School start times shouldn't be a worry
Re: "Mother of four calls CBE changes a 'bomb being dropped on parents'," May 18.
I'm struggling to understand why Sarah Bieber is so upset with the change in school start times. Surely, she realizes that it's OK for her children to arrive at school before the bell rings.
Why then, is she concerned that she has to "sit in her car for half an hour," and especially, why is she considering wasting even more gas going back and forth to her home to pick up her other son afterwards?
Why I'm a fan of photo radar
Here is why I like them:
- They are safer than having a police officer stopping his car to get out and risk both his and the stopped car driver's lives.
- Giving out regular tickets is disruptive to traffic flows. As an example, today, I was coming home, and with three lanes of traffic slowing to 25 km/h in a 110 zone, it brought traffic to a standstill and was very dangerous.
- You can give out more tickets to offenders speeding at the same time. If you have to stop someone, you can only stop one and others get away.
- They are completely voluntary. If you don't want a photo radar ticket, then don't speed.

National prescription drug coverage is overdue
The C.D. Howe Institute tells us that all developed countries with universal health-care systems provide coverage for prescription drugs – except Canada.
Canadian provinces leave the costs to be financed out of pocket. Currently, some three million Canadians cannot afford their prescription drugs.
Toronto health-care experts recently recommended that doctors arrange pseudo hospital admissions, where the costs would be covered by law, for those unable to afford the medications.
This altruistic tactic is not likely to be permitted, but it serves to display this gap in Canadian public health policy. Despite evidence of large-scale savings from a pan-Canadian plan and overwhelming public support, little progress has been made.
For better costs and standards, Canadians need a national program.

Don't try to fly with an expired driver's licence
We were boarding our flight to Toronto when the gate personnel informed me the driver's licence I presented them for identification had expired two months ago.
Having no other government ID, I was not allowed on the flight. I had to reschedule to a later flight to allow time for me to go home and get my passport.
I was surprised to learn that my driver's licence had expired, because I had not received any notification to renew it. Upon going to get my licence renewed, I was advised that the Alberta government had stopped sending renewal notices out a while back (no doubt to save a few bucks).
So best to check the expiry date on your driver's licence before getting ticketed for driving without a valid licence, or being turned away from a flight. And then diarize renewal for every five years thereafter.

By MIKE CHAIKEN
Noah Guthrie first found national attention as a cast member on the TV show "Glee."
Then he reentered the public eye as a contestant on "America's Got Talent."
Now, the singer –who has been opening for country great Dwight Yoakam is working on making his name as a recording artist.
(Guthrie plays a solo show at the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den on March 31. )
To that end, Guthrie said, in an email interview, he is in the process of writing new music.
"I've been writing a lot lately and I'm excited to get some new stuff out there," said Guthrie. "I've been writing music since before 'Glee' or 'AGT' and the challenge has always been to write music that I am proud of and that other people will hopefully enjoy."
A hint of what's to come came in the form of Guthrie's new single, "Moment."
"I wrote 'Moment' in Nashville with two of my favorite writers, Gabe Dixon and Andrew Petroff," said Guthrie. "We all really loved the kind of dark and mysterious undertones in the song."
"After living with it for a while," said Guthrie. "I thought it would be a great song to release as a single."
"The vocal melody leans a little more pop than I'm used to," said Guthrie, "but the lyrics still tell a story in a way that I'm familiar with."
As far as his stylistic approach goes as he ventures forth with his own tunes, Guthrie said, "I've been writing music that leans more into the Americana world. A little country, a little folky, a little soulful."
"I think people who saw me on 'AGT' would be a little surprised to know that most of my music isn't very bluesy," said Guthrie, who offered some belters during his stint on the competition show.
"While I definitely have a few songs that lean that way, the majority of my original music is much more Americana/singer-songwriter," said Guthrie.
Besides "Glee" and "America's Got Talent," Guthrie also garnered considerable attention for a video of himself singing LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It." The video shows Guthrie taking the song into a completely different direction than the original.
"I started posting cover videos on YouTube when I was about 17 years old," said Guthrie of his viral video approach. "Originally, it was a way for me to express myself. Then more and more people started following me and I decided to start making it a regular thing."
"I think YouTube has completely changed the game for musicians," said Guthrie. "The fact that I was able to play songs in my bedroom and have them reach all the way across the world and connect with people in a meaningful way is still amazing to me."
Guthrie said his stint on "America's Got Talent" was an "awesome experience."
"I got to sing a couple of really great songs and got to be seen and heard by about 15 million viewers per episode," said the singer.
The show has opened doors for more gigs and helped shape his presence on stage at those gigs, said Guthrie.
Currently, Guthrie has been on the road with Dwight Yoakam. "It's been great so far. The rooms have been beautiful and the crowds have been awesome."
"I'm really trying to hit the road as much as possible this year," said Guthrie. "I'm very thankful for these Dwight Yoakam shows… and for the Delta Rae shows coming up.
"It's been a really good year and I'm looking forward to the rest of it," said Guthrie.
And when fans stop into the Wolf Den on March 31, Guthrie said they can expect to hear "a bunch of love songs."
"Love songs and sad songs seem to be my specialty," said the singer.
Noah Guthrie performs at the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den in Uncasville on Sunday, March 31 at 7 p.m. Admission is free but on a first-come, first-serve basis.
For more information, go to MoheganSun.com or NoahGuthrie.com.

John Griffin is the director of shelter services at the Women's Humane Society in Bensalem, PA. They are committed to the humane and compassionate treatment of animals and are distinguished as America's First Animal Shelter.
What you should know before bringing your new dog home:
You want to look at what exercise and enrichment you can provide in either your apartment or condo or if you are city living versus something a little bit bigger, If you don't have a yard, where am I going to walk this dog? What does the traffic look like? What does the car traffic look like? Is this dog you know, is this shelter reporting this animal is scared of strangers?
What kind of collar am I going to put on my dog? What kind of, if I'm going to use a harness, what kind of a harness will I use? Should I get it before or after I adopt? You want to think about those things if you don't want to get that dog, get that temporary at leash the shelter gives you and go home and say now what? Right?
Am I going to put the dog in a crate? What size crate do I need? All of those things are important things to check off. It might be a little bit different when we are talking about an animal that could be 30 pounds to 130 pounds, you know and what that looks like. If I have a fence: is four feet tall enough, do I need a six-foot fence or is this dog, even though its big, it can't really jump. You want to look at all those things and just make sure that you are ready to take on the responsibility of if X goes wrong Y is the outcome.
What dogs are best for apartment living?
Our friends are ForRent.com posted a great article about the different breeds for apartment living. It is so important to take this into consideration before adopting a dog from the shelter.
Small Dogs
Shih Tzu: Its size is small, weighing just 9 to 16 pounds, and its temperament is playful, sassy and affectionate. A Shih Tzu is a lap dog that prefers to be pampered. Because of its low energy, it doesn't need many trips outside, but it does need companionship. Chinese royals had them as house pets, and the little Buddha dogs were companions for thousands of years. Warning: Its long hair requires grooming.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: Another dog breed of small-statured canines, this dog weighs just 10 to 18 pounds. Its temperament is friendly and eager to please, and it gets along well with children and other dogs. The breed dates back to British royalty and King Charles II's preference for little dogs. These spaniels respond well to training, but be forewarned that their long-hair coat requires good nutrition and care.
Pug: Its weight is 14 to 18 pounds, and its temperament is comical and playful. But compared to other small dogs, pugs are a relatively quiet breed, which is an important consideration when living in pet-friendly apartments. Pugs can be stubborn at times, but their general friendliness makes them good city dogs.
Medium-Sized Dogs
Basset Hound: A medium-sized dog, the basset hound typically weighs between 20 and 65 pounds. Its temperament is easygoing and good-natured, and the breed is recognizable by its long, floppy ears. The dogs spend most of the day sleeping and are great with kids. This cuddly breed is a natural pack animal, but be forewarned that it can be vocal.
Bulldog: With a typical weight between 40 and 55 pounds, this medium-sized dog has a temperament that is easygoing, mellow and friendly. Some say that bulldogs look like a larger pug. Typically, they are more interested in the couch than the dog park, making them a low-maintenance breed and a classic example of a city dog. Warning: It drools and snores.
Large Dogs
Greyhound: Even though a greyhound may weigh between 60 and 70 pounds, its temperament is what makes it well-suited for apartment living. This breed is typically quiet, well-mannered and eager to please. Greyhounds are surprisingly lazy and happy to spend the day on your couch. Despite being able to run at speeds up to 45 mph, it can be shy and prefers a calm household. Warning: It has a strong chasing instinct.
Mastiff: This calm and good-natured breed can weigh anywhere between 120 and 230 pounds. A gentle giant, the mastiff is instinctively protective of its family. It needs regular exercise like moderate walks and visits to the park, so make sure these big guys adjust to taking the elevator in your apartment building. Warning: It slobbers and can be stubborn.

The mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactants is esse […]
The mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactants is essentially a very effective emulsifier for water insoluble monomers, and changing the ratio of the two can better control the viscosity of the emulsion. When an anionic or nonionic mixed emulsifier is used, the concentration of the emulsifier increases, the latex particles become smaller, the particle size distribution becomes wider, the viscosity of the emulsion increases, and when the total amount of the emulsifier is constant, the emulsifier and the monomer at the initial stage of the polymer reaction The ester molar ratio (E/M) is the determining factor affecting the viscosity of the emulsion. The larger the initial E/M, the larger the number of primary particles formed, and the smaller the particle size of the emulsion, the greater the viscosity.
In addition, in the anionic and nonionic mixed emulsion systems, the type and amount of the emulsifier affect the emulsion particle size and its distribution and the viscosity of the emulsion, and also affect the minimum film forming temperature of the emulsion. Because the viscosity increases as the particle size of the emulsion becomes smaller, the capillary pressure and the total surface area of the emulsion film formation are increased, which facilitates the mutual penetration of the ion surface chain ends and promotes ion-forming film formation.
Although ordinary surfactants can give polymer latex tape a stable effect and play an important role in emulsion polymerization, in the application of the final film formation of latex, it will bring some adverse effects to the product, such as reducing the polymer. Water resistance and chemical resistance. In order to overcome the adverse effects of common emulsifiers in latex products, while retaining some excellent properties of emulsion polymerization and products, an effective method is to change the emulsifier.

I got a jump start on Project Simplify because I'll be on vacation most of the actual first week (Week of April 9). Once I got started, I did not want to stop. I was chucking things and filling up a donation bag like crazy. However, since we are pretty good at not accumulating "stuff" I eventually ran out. I cleaned out 6 drawers and 5 shelves. I got rid of 5 left-handed rubber gloves and an entire drawer full of expired sunblock. Yikes.
I'm so excited to get on to the next weeks' tasks, but they will have to wait as I have a million other tasks to take care of. Especially with a cross-country trip just around the corner! I took a couple before and after photos to give some idea of what I've been up to. Maybe they will inspire you to get crackin'!
See my introductory post for more information on my plans!

All posts for the month December, 2017
I had some business to do in Seattle and decided to see how the flood tide was at the wheel. Frank R. met up with me and we made a few casts for an hour near the corner of the dock closest to the actual wheel.
Sun and Phil ended up visiting for a bit and they took some photos and got the other buddies all excited now that we have a better understanding of the migrations of the swuid between morning mid day and in the evenings.
Frank and I had lunch afterwards at the Crab Pot and talked a little shop. The weather today was fantastic, can't complain on these sunny days!
For dinner my wife made stir fried squid, game over.
I had a long day and wanted to get some fresh air. What better way than to drop some jigs at the wheel? David was up to meet up so I picked him up at 22:15 and we made our way to the waterfront to catch the 24:28 flood tide.
We arrived to find a section of railing perfect for us. I fired up the generator and the new light lit up like sunlight. Soon after the bite was on! A few others gathered around to join in the action and pretty soon I had doubles and even a few triples.
David was using an ultralight St. Croix tort rod and some super line. A mono like braid that was very sensitive. You could see every hit those squid were attacking onto his jigs.
Luckily I didn't lose any jigs, could have lost them, but managed to de-snag of some nasty bottom. I even pulled up a cluster of 5-6 jigs tangled on the bottom.
When we arrived I was surprised to be greeted by Phil's dad. 'Hi Pol!' he said as he was walking back with a nice limit. He can't get enough and maybe practicing for next years derby. David got a limit as well and we left around 01:30. He gave me all but a few squid, I'll pack them up into gallon zips and give then to my wife's friends.
Nothing better that fresh calamari!
We spent a Sunday afternoon on the Jefferson Park short 9 since the weather was sunny and a bit warmer. Kids are free after noon and it was nice to walk alongside them as they left a trail of wedged out lawn along the way.
I wanted to take a peek at the waterfront since I'd been spending so much time down there this week learning more about the squid. I haven't seen the water on a low tide, but arrived about and hour prior to the low. I started on the wheel side and didn't have much luck.
I glanced over at the Aquarium side and it appeared the bite was on. My wife had gone over to explore with our youngest son. My older son and I packed up and moved to get in with the action.
We found a spot and bellied up to the railing and cast out. The water line was alot lower, but soon after the first squid came to hand. My family was soon tired and hungry, so I called it and we went to Ocean city for some Chinese food.
Only brought back 9-10 squid, which I'll hopefully add more to this week.
Since the squid season has been very good I thought it'd be nice to rally the troops for some friendly competition. We agreed to a timed event, most # of squid caught at the end of the hour would be the winner.
Everyone who played contributed a new squid jig to the pot and we'd pay out to 3rd place. The participants were from winner on down.
1. Michael Kim (Phil's dad), 41 squid
2. Jason Takayoshi, 32 squid
3. Sun Yi, 31 squid
4. Phil Kim
5. Paul Kim
6. David Kim
7. Joe Hong
8. Chris Moyer
9. Frank Rutledge
10. Alexis Courbet
11. James Nguyen
Congrats to the winners, fun times for all with lots of laughs and friendly competition. We met up at Joyale Seafood restaurant for some good eats and of course more engaging fishing conversation.
Over dinner we discussed the lifespan and science behind these squid. Heres a good synopsis on the background behind the Pacific Squid aka Market squid.
The 'new' Radio Flier wagon worked like a charm along with the 500w, 55,000 lumen SMD led light.
This was my first time using the new light but didn't realize that generators are not allowed on the wheel side. Specifically anything that carries fuel that could lead to a leak and or fire.
We got kicked off the pier and ended up having to move to the aquarium side to set up shop. The corner spot by the shed was taken, so we planted the light at the edge by the wooden dock. After a few minutes the schools were attracted to the beacon that was calling them in. The action at times was hot and heavy.
Next years derby, we'll be prepared. Lets hope the squid return as thick as this year's run.
The tug is the drug, and squid have a bounty on their tentacles. Wanted to see how the action was during the morning and got in a bit late. We left the house at 09:00 and pulled into the parking area to see a dozen or so folks pulling squid by the wheel.
We assembled the gear and head out to an empty spot. My first cast was good, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on. I hit a squid on each cast up to my 8th consecutive. It was good action for a few moments and then died down around 11:00. Just a few hitting closer in.
Dad ended up snagging up and lost two jigs and I snagged and lost 4. Not a cheap morning, but we managed to leave at noon with 5, #7 each.
Somehow the new jigs aren't as effective as the older ones, either that or they need a good light charge to juice them up for max glow.
I've organized a friendly squid derby for some friends tomorrow evening. Entry fee is 1 new jig, winner takes all after 1 hour of squidding. Flood tide tomorrow is at 20:02 and the derby starts at 19:00 sharp.
Here's a glimpse inside my squid tackle box.
I wanted to get my dad out for some squidding since the morning bite has been good at the wheel. Since his eyesight isn't good and he isn't good with casting I knew the morning would be ideal for visibility and the possibility of some good catching.
We left home at 06:00 and set up by 06:30. No issues with traffic or rushed for time since flood tide was at 07:42. We started at the wheel at O'dark and it was painfully slow. I kept an eye on the guys in the aquarium side and they were punching squid, so we picked up and walked over to join the action.
This one particular gent I've see regularly was hitting squid one after the other. He was using a fly rod and could get the right drop and sink. Not sure what or whose jig he was using but he was on fire. I couldn't keep up the pace with him as he outfished everyone on the side.
He was even using 1 jig to my two, yet he was outfishing me 3:1. The action started around 07:15 and died down once the construction workers cordoned off a portion of the dock. We all moved back to the wheel and started hitting squid immediately. Best action was from 08:00-09:30 ish.
Dad separated himself to the portion of the dock closest to the wheel while the regulars fished the bend. I kept a watchful eye and he was reeling up squid regularly. We ended at 10:30 and had limits for both. Dad was all smiles and had alot of fun despite tangling up twice and I had to do some field mending of his line.
I also met a guy who is on the Facebook fishing page and got to chat a bit about Neah halibut, salmon and ling cod. Hope to learn some new spots and Intel from him for future trips.
Good morning and fun to get out to enjoy this season of squidding!
After I cleaned my squid I made some lunch. Lemon garlic sautée with nuoc mam Thai chili dipping sauce. Good stuff!

We Can Rebuild Her. We Have the Technology.*
Every couple of years, my mom trots out this old story of when she got her tonsils out. She was twenty, and it was during a time when hospital stays were much longer than they are today. Women stayed in the hospital seven to ten days after having a baby with no complications, for instance. However, these days, no matter what insurance you have, you are not going to spend the night in the hospital before the morning of your tonsillectomy if you are an otherwise healthy person. You'll come in before dawn the day of your surgery and you'll be sent home later that day. But it was a different time then, so there my mother was, a young woman lying in the dark in her hospital bed, waiting for morning to come.
Out of the darkness came a voice, thick with accent. It was an old gypsy woman. Like a ghost, she said, "Don't let them cut you." (Only to hear my mom tell it, it's more like, "Dohn't a-let dem caht yooo." For a "gypsy" woman, her accent is as much Italian as it is Eva Gabor's Hungarian or a cheeky, Americanized Dracula.)
"Once they start cutting you," the voice continued, "they never stop, until you die."
My mother went on to have her tonsils out. A few years later she had her appendix out. A few years later she had her uterus out. She has had, as she says, all the 'ectomies. (Never mind the fact that she still has her gall bladder, but I'll spot her that one since she's also had cataracts out and she's not even of retirement age yet.) Who knows what she'll have out next.
What triggers her to tell this story every couple of years? I seem to have a health crisis every couple of years.
In 2000, the day before HG and I were to leave on a week-long vacation for our first anniversary, I fell ill with appendicitis and had to have emergency surgery. This was the first time she told me about her gypsy woman's portent. (Um, thanks, mom? That totally made me feel better, I think.)
In 2002, I had to have my thyroid obliterated with radioactive iodine to treat my Graves Disease.
In 2004, I had to have an emergency c-section 5 weeks before my due date in order to save the tot from dying in utero. I like to call this one my baby-ectomy.
Now, in 2006, I've had a mystery pain in my lower belly since February, and I've passed all the tests – the ultrasounds, the cat scan, the colonoscopy. At this point, all the doctors say that yes, I do have a mild separation in my abdominal wall, but that mild herniation isn't the cause of my pain. Probably it's endometriosis or surgical adhesions from my appendectomy and my baby-ectomy. The method of diagnosis and/or treatment for any of these conditions is laparascopy. Yet another cut.**
So maybe my mom's gypsy woman was right. If so, I'll be fully bionic by the time the tot graduates high school, and I suppose that might be kind of cool. I'll be able to tear phone books in half or run really fast, and every time I jump into the air to get a cereal box down from the top of the cabinet, I'll hear a "na na na na na na." I doubt the gypsy could have foretold that one.
*With apologies to the creators of Six-Million-Dollar Man.
**Yay me, however, that it is not cancer or an untreatable disease. Of course, there were a few days that the gastroenterologist had me worried it might be cancer, but that is neither here nor there any longer.

6 Reasons Couples Choose To File A Divorce
December 26, 2017
Lots of factors can lead to divorce like unfaithfulness, inability to interact, abuse and mental disorder, control, distinctions in personality, and distinctions in goals and views.
Every year the variety of individuals applying for divorce increases. Some couples lastly file for divorce, after attempting to conserve their marital relationship in their own methods. The following are the most common reasons people get divorced:
Unfaithfulness, cheating, unfaithful – this is the primary reason couples divorce. Unfaithfulness may be caused by household problems that go unsolved. Although others argue that marital failure triggers infidelity, it is still for this factor that about one-third of divorce cases in the United States are filed.
Failure to interact
Communication is among the secrets to a healthy and long lasting relationship, consisting of marital relationship. Honest and open communication about job and personal issues is necessary for a committed couple. This serves to cultivate and establish the strength of a relationship. Each couple must speak and pay attention to one another. If the lines of communication are closed the entire union will quickly become weak. Lots of couples select divorce because they feel like they are becoming strangers a growing number of every day. Some issues are just too huge and too tough to find a resolution. They feel they are much better off without each other.
Mental disorders and abuses
Amongst all the reasons, abuse is the most acceptable grounds for divorce. There are numerous types of abuse that have been the cause of divorces among couples. Abuses are of the physical, emotional and even sexual ranges. Some people think that they understand the real color of their partner, up until they wed them or have children with them. With time some partners, typically the spouses, display abusive behavior that definitely breaches human rights. The reality is that some partners like this might be psychologically ill or otherwise unsteady. For instance, some hubbies are physically and/or sexually abusive to their other halves and kids, while others embarrass their other halves in public.
When it pertains to marital relationship, it takes a lot of humbleness to conserve a spiritual relationship. To end continuous battling in between partners they both should learn how to let their feelings known without losing control, and find out when it's time to remain simple and submissive. In order for a marital relationship to be effective both partners should want to work together and compromise.
Characters might not agree
Character distinctions are a recognized reason for divorces. One might find the other's character too much to manage. He or she might not appreciate informing or raising the kids, or they might be too lazy to work for the well being of the household. The spouse may dominate while the better half is subservient, making the kids miserable.
Variations in outlooks and plans
Couples also need to share the very same objectives and same plans to make relationships last. Spouses need to fix up the distinctions that they have, regarding objectives and opinions, in order to have a strong, rewarding relationship that lasts far into the future. When the circumstance gets so bad that there is no option, couples normally think about divorcing. Some divisive concerns consist of work, in-laws, child-rearing as well as faith.
Financial issues, substance abuse, criminal acts, desertion are a few of the issues that cause divorce. No matter the issue, a divorce attorney has guidance. Browse your regional directory. A fantastic web search would be "Divorce Bloomfield" if you remain in the Bloomfield location.

Ganglion masses, or cysts, are normally removed through surgery. Most cyst removal surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis. Contact our office to have this procedure performed.
During the procedure, the cyst is dissected from the surrounding soft tissues and removed. The recovery period depends on the location of the ganglion and the amount of dissection required during surgery. In many cases, patients receive a splint or below-the-knee cast. The surgeon may require the patient to use crutches for several days to up to three weeks. This level of protection may be necessary if the ganglion is near the ankle joint.
Possible complications from cyst removal surgery include infection, excessive swelling, and nerve damage.

We all have goals and things that we want to accomplish on a day-to-day basis, but we often struggle finding enough hours to getting things done. I'm no exception, especially as I try to juggle 50-hour work weeks, create content for my personal brand, connect with thought leaders in the digital world and maintain a healthy social life with friends and family. Whether it's completing simple chores around the house or investing time in side projects, this post will provide a few ways on how to increase productivity without drastically revamping your entire daily routine.

Tip #1: Write Out Your Goals/To-Do List
As we start our day, we're faced with a flurry of ideas about what we need to get done, but either forget or rush to do certain things as they come up. The best way that I remember to stay on task and to organize my game plan for the day is to write out my goals and to-do list in a notebook before I go to bed every night.
It seems small, but it works wonders in keeping yourself organized as you enter a new day with a busy plate. Writing out your to-do list also creates a positive snowball effect as you cross off the list of tasks you set for yourself to complete.
I try to perform small tasks when I wake up to get my day started, relegating more intensive tasks to the late morning or early afternoon once the caffeine rids me of that early morning grogginess. Usually I'll make my bed, hit a cold shower, review my to-do list, go for a quick jog and do some light reading in the first hour of waking up to get me on track for the rest of the day.
Tip #2: Figure Out When You're the Most And Least Productive
It's impossible to stay motivated and productive every waking moment of your day. We all have our slump periods, whether it's right after lunch or walking in the door after a busy shift and it's important to identify when you're productive or entering that slump period of the day.
Beyond writing out my to-do list, I assign each task with a difficulty ranking of 1 or 2. When I'm the most productive, I try to accomplish those higher difficulty tasks while performing the simpler ones for when I'm the least productive.
My highest hours of personal productivity are from 5-7:30 a.m., and from 7-11:30 p.m., while my productivity gradually decreases from 1-6 p.m. as I grind away at work.
One hack that I use to get into the right mindset after finishing a shift is to take a power nap as soon as a I get home. I'll pop a caffeine pill before I take that nap and when I wake up, I'm refreshed, energized and ready to tackle the remainder of my to-do list before unwinding for bed around midnight.
Tip #3: Avoid Distractions At All Costs
As we start crunching away at our to-do lists, the biggest issue many people face is spending their time unproductively and wasting more time than they anticipated. For me this takes the form of mindlessly surfing through YouTube Videos and my social media feeds; five minutes might turn into half an hour if I'm not careful, and most people have the same dilemma. Whether it's social media, reading random articles on Reddit and Google, or binge-watching television shows, we often spend hours every day wasting time for that quick dopamine hit and feeling of instant gratification from entertainment.
I've gotten into the habit of shutting my phone off, only turning it on to check on things every few hours. If I'm surfing around on social media, I will scroll 10 posts deep and then scroll up; once I hit the top of my newsfeed again I exit out of the browser or app. For television shows and YouTube videos I'll play them in the background as I do more mindless work that isn't thought-intensive.
Again, it's impossible to be productive every waking moment of the day, but don't fall into the habit of rewarding yourself with social media or television shows to find yourself knee-deep in newsfeeds and the "Are You Still There" pop-up on Netflix.
To break up my time, I'll allocate 45 minutes of productive work where I completely focus on the task at hand, while I devote 15 minutes to meditation or getting up to walk around and unwind before returning to the task at hand.
Tip #4: Wake Up An Hour Earlier Than You Normally Would
No one likes waking up early, myself included, but getting up an hour earlier than you normally would works wonders for productivity.
It lets you organize your thoughts, set to work on your tasks and start that positive snowball before heading into work. Like I mentioned earlier, I wake up at 5 a.m. every day to go for that morning run, do some light-reading, check up on my website analytics and social media notifications, and even do some yoga and meal prep before heading into the work.
If you're waking up late and are in a frenzy to get ready and out the door to head to work, that'll follow you into the rest of your day and you'll feel frazzled, fried and disoriented trying to figure out what you need to do.
Tip #5: Write Out Monthly and Yearly Goals For Accountability
While writing out daily goals is a great start, creating monthly and yearly goals to strive for is the best way to be productive and continue improving yourself.
Daily goals are short-term and should be those steps you're making to accomplish those monthly and yearly goals.
With my daily goals I'll task myself with working out, engaging on social media, writing posts for my website, recording podcasts and vlogs, reading, doing yoga, etc… but it's easy to get lost in the weeds or become de-motivated when you don't have that higher bar you're trying to reach.
Inversely, it's also demotivating to set those monthly and yearly goals, only to reach that month end and realize you weren't even close to what you wanted to accomplish because you weren't making those daily steps to reach that goal.
I talk about this in other blog posts and podcasts, but take that time to sit down, evaluate what you want to accomplish and the steps you're taking to get there. Thirty-day challenges are great for this, especially as it takes weeks to build habits and routines, or having accountability buddies to spur each other on and encouraging one another to stick with it.
Tip #6: Make Sure You're Sleeping Enough
I don't practice what I preach for tip #6, but as a society we often downplay the importance of getting a good night's sleep to greet the day productively. Not getting enough sleep won't have any serious detriments in the short term, but as our bodies become sleep-deprived our energy levels plummet, cognitive function decreases for complex decision-making and it becomes harder to wake up on time in the morning.
Eventually we burn ourselves out and either sleep through alarms or spend the weekend as a couch potato recovering from a restless week. Get at least 6-8 hours of sleep and go to bed/wake up at the same time every day.
Tip #7: Take Time To Unwind and Have Fun
As I've stated several times through this post, we can't be productive every waking moment of the day. While we can maximize our productivity, it's crucial to take time out of our day to engage in behaviors to destress/unwind. Whether it's reading a book, watching that television show, playing a video game or meeting up with friends, we need to allocate some time to unwind.
There's a difference between mindlessly wasting time and using it meaningfully to destress. If you don't take that time out of your week to relax, you're going to start building a negative association with your tasks and start pushing them off for the following day/week.
I a hard-stop for myself at 11 p.m. to stop anything I didn't accomplish on my to-do list and begin to unwind for bed. I'll either sit down to read, play a video game, watch a few episodes of my favorite show or bury myself in Reddit threads to my heart's content until midnight turning in for the evening.
7 Quick Tips On How To Increase Productivity Recap
While these are simple tips for increasing productivity, they're effective in maximizing the 16 waking hours you have in the day to getting things done. I hope you found this post to be helpful and I would love to hear what you do to stay productive in the comments section below!

My day yesterday was crazy busy! Wade was in his carseat more than out too! We took the kids to school at 7:30. Then we came home around 8:20 for just a few minutes to rotate laundry before we had to go to his Speech Evaluation meeting at 9am. Good news is that he no longer qualifies for speech! He is talking within normal limits for his age and even higher in some areas. Since he is 3 on Saturday his services were being transferring to the school district from the county's regional center. The school district did extensive testing on him and he is caught up to his age now as far as speech goes! His comprehension has always been higher, and it still it. So whew! No more worrying about fitting speech visits in too.
So, after his meeting we went home and rotated laundry. Then we went to the car wash and it took way too long, but they did a great job. Then we came home to rotate laundry again! Then we met my parents for lunch at Del Taco. After lunch we came home and rotated laundry again. I also folded and hung up a bunch too each time! I had so much laundry!
At 1:30 we went to pick up the kids from school. Payton gets out and 2 and the other 2 get out at 2:22. I left Kylie at my mom's so she could take her to Brownies at 5pm. I was going to pick her up at 7 when it was over and all the other stuff of the day was over too. Got home at 3 pm. (I will be so glad when we live closer to the school!) Then I tried to get the house vacuummed and laundry put away and homework done before we had to take Payton to swim practice. She had to be there at 4:30. Wes had to be at baseball practice right after Payton ended so he was all dressed with his cleats on and all. Then when were at the pool. . .
HE FELL INTO THE POOL! fully dressed for baseball!!! He didn't think it was so funny, but I did!
We had to drive home, get him changed, and rush back to the pool to pick up Payton as her time was ending. Just then my phone rang. It was Kylie's Brownie leader saying the meeting was ending at 6:30, the same time that Weston's practice ends. UGH! It was supposed to be over at 7 and I would have time to get Wes then get Kylie. So a quick chat with Wes' coach to ask him if I could get him a few minutes later (just 10-15 minutes after the end of practice, and he agreed), and we went to get Kylie. Rushed back to get Wes from practice. It was 6:45 by then and 7 by the time we got home and dinner finally started. Then we had to shower and finish homework and do dishes. By the time that was all done it was 10 minutes till 8pm. Just the perfect time for teeth brushing and bed!
I think I was more tired than the kids!
And today was just as busy too. Barely any time at home!

What You Need To Get Hotel Financing
Lenders require a great deal of information from borrowers who apply for hotel financing. By having everything you need in order to obtain approval before taking on this rather lengthy and thorough process, you can expedite the consideration time and have the cash you need as soon as possible so you can begin making repairs and improvements to your business that'll help launch it into the future. However, if you've never undergone this process before, the chances are that you don't know what kind of information your lenders of choice expect to see alongside your application.
A history of your financial records and your relationship with your bank (or the institution in question) is a must for those applying for hotel financing. Lenders will use this information in order to determine whether or not your business and your skills as a manager are up to snuff and are able to handle the financial responsibilities which such loans innately carry. The information should cover a minimum of three years (preferable more) and show that your business has been able to finish out a large majority of its months without being "in the red" and being unable to pay important expenses.
Next, lenders will want to know a little more about your hotel and how it functions. Specifically, they'll need to know what kind of hotel you're looking to finance. The most common options are: full service hotel, limited service hotel or motel, beverage motel, resort or a strata or quarter share. Each of these option features its own unique financial needs, so lenders will need to know this information prior to beginning your loan proposal in order to ensure that they can create the best terms for the opportunity, and that the investment will profitable for everyone involved.
Finally, lenders will want to see a great deal of information on how your business interacts with customers and the surrounding community. Your hotel's location will play a big part in this area of consideration, as where your business exists can have a huge impact on the amount and type of customers which your hotel attracts. Branding and the range of advertisement are also deciding factors, so providing substantial information on your marketing attempts is a must.
Applying for hotel financing is no walk in the park, but by getting your information in order before approaching your lender of choice, you can ensure you're making the best impression possible and maximizing your chances at having your proposal accepted as soon as possible.

That's Ailey Baptist Church, over there. It's in Ailey, Georgia, which is located about 12 miles West of Vidalia, where they grow them famous onions. We went to Ailey last Saturday to visit CB & Karen Scott, and since CB is the pastor of Ailey Baptist, we went there Sunday morning.
It is also next door to where CB and his family live, so it was convenient. We stayed in a motel over in Vidalia, but our visit certainly centered around the Scotts'.
When CB became their preacher a few months ago, their attendance was extremely low, and they hadn't had a Sunday School in years. Note: they now have one for the children. But the reception by the church, of the Scotts, was first rate. And they have grown substantially, and currently have 35 or 40 at worship on Sunday morning.
When we walked in on Sunday morning, the pianist was playing some good old up-tempo hymns, and the atmosphere was reminiscent of the many times we visited Westmont, when CB pastored there. And I absolutely loved it.
The musicians, aside from the pianist, are two gents from Ailey who used to be professional Nashville musicians, and I loved every minute of the music. And the guitar player also led worship and was wonderfully cheerful and happy.
Apparently, they haven't got the memo about "Stand & Greet Time", as they have one. And they also have their own song for the occasion. "Welcome to Ailey Baptist Church". Everybody stood and sang ... and the singing reminded me a bit of Red Hills, where 20 people will raise the roof. It was great fun and we all clapped and I have the feeling that if all "Stand and Greet Times" were like that, visitors would be more ... instead of less ... likely to return.
We talked to lots of the folks, before and after the service. And it was great fun. If I lived in the area, I'd join that church in a New York Minute.
All of which brought a new conclusion to my mind. I have sort of figured, previously, that the "average" SBC church was, with its 80+/- members, old and stodgy and dull. And last Sunday was none of those things.
It was wonderful. Suddenly I am missing hymns.......

"A truly epic conclusion to one of the greatest horror stories in cinema history."
Jake Hamilton, FOX TV
IT Chapter Two
Own it Early on Digital on November 19
4K, Blu-ray and DVD debut on December 10
Come back and play when "IT Chapter Two" arrives on 4K UHD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital. Evil resurfaces in Derry as director Andy Muschietti reunites the Losers Club in a return to where it all began with "IT Chapter Two," the conclusion to the highest-grossing horror film of all time.
The film is Muschietti's follow-up to 2017's critically acclaimed and massive global box office hit "IT," which grossed more than $700 million worldwide. Both redefining and transcending the genre, "IT" became part of the cultural zeitgeist.
Twenty-seven years after the Losers Club defeated Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård), he has returned to terrorize the town of Derry once more. Now adults, the Losers have long since gone their separate ways. However, people are disappearing again, so Mike (Isaiah Mustafa), the only one of the group to remain in their hometown, calls the others home. Damaged by the experiences of their past, they must each conquer their deepest fears to destroy Pennywise once and for all...putting them directly in the path of the shape-shifting clown that has become deadlier than ever.
"IT Chapter Two" stars James McAvoy (the "X-Men" movies, "Split," "Glass") as Bill, Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty," "Mama," "Molly's Game") as Beverly, Bill Hader (TV's "Barry," "The Skeleton Twins") as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa (TV's "Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments") as Mike, Jay Ryan (TV's "Mary Kills People," TV's "Beauty and the Beast") as Ben, James Ransone (TV's "The Wire," "Sinister") as Eddie and Andy Bean ("Swamp Thing," "Allegiant") as Stanley. Reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Martell ("St. Vincent," "Midnight Special") as Bill, Wyatt Oleff ("Guardians of the Galaxy," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2") as Stanley, Jack Dylan Grazer ("Shazam," TV's "Me, Myself and I") as Eddie, Finn Wolfhard (TV's "Stranger Things," TV's "Carmen Sandiego") as Richie, Sophia Lillis ("Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase," TV's "Sharp Objects") as Beverly, Chosen Jacobs (TV's "Hawaii Five-O," TV's "Castle Rock") as Mike and Jeremy Ray Taylor ("Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween") as Ben. Bill Skarsgård ("Deadpool 2," "Allegiant") returns in the seminal role of Pennywise.

Drive America's Highways for 75 miles east along Interstate 70 from Indianapolis to Richmond, Indiana.
We start the video turning north onto the combined Interstate 65 / Interstate 70 freeway in downtown Indianapolis. Approximately a mile later, we turn east onto Interstate 70 towards Dayton as Interstate 65 turns northwest towards Chicago. Continuing east, we soon cross the interchange with Interstate 465 — the Indianapolis beltway (We forgot to put a sign in the video for this interchange — oops). Now out of Indianapolis, we kick back and make our way through eastern Indiana. Crossing interchanges with IN-9, 109, 3 and IN-1, we finally reach the western fringes of Richmond and the Miami Valley at the interchange with U.S. Highway 35 (Muncie). Passing generally north and east of Richmond on I-70, we cross the interchange with U.S. Highway 27 before turning southeast to cross U.S. Highway 40 at the Ohio State Line, where we end the video.
