Southern Indiana, near me.

The Colgate Clock, located at a former Colgate-Palmolive factory in Clarksville, Indiana, is one of the largest clocks in the world. It has a diameter of 40 feet (12 meters). It was first illuminated in Clarksville on November 17, 1924. It is located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.

Before the building was bought by Colgate, it served as the Indiana Reformatory South. It opened in 1847, replacing the state prison which had opened in Jeffersonville in 1821. In 1919 a fire broke out in the prison, causing extensive damage that would have been very expensive to repair. Instead, the state of Indiana decided to relocate the prison to Pendleton, Indiana. Colgate happened to be looking for a Midwestern location following the post-World War I boom, and heard of the prison's availability. The state sold the building to Colgate in 1923. Prisoners, in fact, helped with the conversion from prison to soap-making plant, and even stayed in cells at the location while the conversion took place.

The clock was designed by Colgate engineer Warren Day and constructed by the Seth Thomas Clock Company for the centennial of the Colgate Company in 1906. It was installed at Colgate-Palmolive facilities in Jersey City, New Jersey, and then moved to Indiana when a larger clock replaced it in 1924.

A little more Indiana history. This map is from 1817, one year after statehood. It was settled south to north due to access from the Ohio River. The original capital was in Corydon, near the river and about 30 miles west of Clarksville. Everything north of the settled areas on the map was Indian country. Indianapolis became the capital in 1825.

That looks neat. My first thought, "Wow, I could live in something like that!" Then my second thought, "Well, maybe for about 24 hours". I think I would have put the woodpile and the oven on the door side, so I wouldn't have to drag wood through the entire house (or ashes, when cleaning out the oven). Those fire pits in the middle of a flammable structure - I know the Vikings reportedly liked to do that - just seem scary to me. Sparks and embers do fly everywhere and it just doesn't seem safe. I wouldn't sleep one wink during the night, worrying about the fire.

After all these years, I never have thought once about how "Indiana" got it's name.
It is obvious now.

Would you want that in your home if you didn't have running water nor a sewer? They likely had outhouses of one sort or another.

In winter I could get WLS here in alabama sometimes. I remember tuning it in while plowing for my grandfather. He had a jd4020 with a radio.

An odd photo, probably a movie still.

I believe this is an actual photo taken of a war dog and the handler during the Middle Ages. Okay, it's probably an historical re-enactment for visiting scholars.

My many years of being a soccer mom, there were people who had these only a little larger to stay warmer, drier, or whatever at soccer games. I wanted one, but only recently got one for privacy purposes to take camping.

I can't think of a single reason to ever go to Paris. But that would be the first place I'd go if I did.

Very elegant! It's a lot nicer than the Iowa State Capitol building but it reminds me of it. The inside picture is the library:

Was watching a series about castles. I liked them all but this one is amazing.
There was so much incredible artwork in it that the REAL Mona Lisa was a piece of art in a BATHROOM!

@Woody I’ve seen the moon do all those crazy colors, I think a few are missing. Have seen it blindingly white even when it isn’t full. Thanks for posting it. Can you share what website you got it from?

My friend's wedding suit is almost complete in this pic. He's going to wear a brighter red shirt (but it had not arrived yet) and I'm going to get him some elastic laces that secure with a magnet for his shoes.
The suit I got him came with shirt, pants, vest, a tie & pocket square (but they were the wrong color). I got him a white tie separately (it came with a pocket square but he's not wearing it) and a sword tie pin. He'd found the tie pin online and I found it for half the price.

My brother got this shirt-- it will have to be adjusted to fit his arms a little better. It was the ONLY red shirt in the store that actually fit him. I don't have a pic of him in the full suit just yet.

The place where we eventually got my brother's suit had some interesting shoes on display. Ended up having to get my brother a size 52 blazer just to fit over his shoulders. The pants are a wee bit loose but we got suspenders for them. His white tie has not come in yet. He got similar shoes to the ones our friend wore.

I've seen white moons like that, so white they seem to sparkle. especially north towards the arctic circle. The middle east is different too, anywhere near the sahara desert. There's always sand in the air, very little or a lot, ever present. It does funky things to the moon's color.

Cool pic though...
