Fort Wayne, Indiana

On the weekend we drove down to Fort Wayne, Indiana for a concert in their coliseum (sick). A great night out - well worth the effort to drive down. Guy, David, Bill and Marshall were fantastic, and a couple of the supporting acts were pretty exciting too.

We had to drive through Gary, Indiana which has to be one of the most industrialised regions I have ever seen. Steel mills, factories, railroads, smoke, pollution, and despair all were visible from the highway. This is not a place to go on holiday.

Passing through the industrialised area soon saw us in farm country which reminded me a little of interstate driving in Australia. One difference was the driving snow on the way over made things difficult, but on the way back we saw blue skies for the first time in months. That persisted all the way back home, but a return to grey clouds awaited us this morning. Temperature hasn't moved, being high-20's, low 30's (Fahreinheit that is).
