    On a happier note I had fun shooting trap at the Michigan City Rifle Club earlier tonight. They do this every Thursday night at 6 pm and it is open to the public. It costs $4 for a round of 25. It was my first time shooting a shotgun and I shot two rounds of 25 getting 13 hits each time.

    Congrats on giving trapshooting a try! GPIW is another option....https://glenparkiw.org/?page_id=24

    completely false. people I know work right there and there is nothing but normal daily traffic. I saw the post's too, so I asked.

    I went to the coke plant so that I could get better vacations and be a lot closer to the top of the seniority list. Went from 87 out of 120 to 19 out of 100, ended up at 6 at the time of the shutdown about 15 years later. Then when I went to the last Coke plant they built in East Chicago at what was Inland I was the senior guy in my sequence. So it's not like there wasn't some benefit to working there 20 out of the 30 I put in.

    I was through there multiple times yesterday with no issues. The person who posted that could have done more good by calling the police and reporting it.

    Thanks for the heads up, I bookmarked the page. The experience was great and I was lucky enough that one of the members there actually loaned me a shotgun to use. I am a probationary member there and when he heard I had never used a shotgun he invited me to use his gun and give it a try. Adds to the dilemma of what gun I'm getting for Father's Day which is also very close to my birthday.

    Weird, because several people replied and said they experienced the same thing. Don't know who to believe any more. Just thought I'd pass it along.

    And again from Facebook. Take with a grain of salt, but I'm going to post whatever info I see since some have asked for it.

    Protests are planned for today, June 5, between Noon to 4 pm CT on Broadway in Gary between 4th and 5th Ave. Please avoid this area during those times when traveling and please stay alert.

    Unless I'm going to court or a ball game, I pretty much avoid the area.
