Having lived in Fort Wayne for 15 or so years, let me assure you there's
a reason we didn't change to daylight savings time. It was simply that
we didn't know how to set those new-fangled watches and clocks. <grin>
Booze in IN is sold by the state, so they can not only be sure it's
taxed, they can also take in the profit. The ABC stores are usually NOT
on a major thoroughfare, either, and are not well lighted at night.
After all, it'd be embarrassing if the Baptists would recognize one
another out in the parking lots.
