good grief, Indiana, do better

Feb 27, 2025

Because the Hoosier state is my home, I’m always drawn to anything “Indiana” when reading national news. Yesterday, the two news items I ran across were pretty darned embarrassing for Indiana residents…

First, I read about the woman in Indiana arrested for marrying her biological father. Yup. She sure did. Now why HER arrest was in the news and not that of her husband/father is beyond me.

I was aware of the next item prior to the person in question being identified. The X account, @effective_pawn, threatened to “gut” Elon Musk and “parade his corpse through the streets.” Little did I know at the time, he was talking about the streets in Clarksville, Indiana. đŸ˜³

It’s not ok to post death threats on social media. Duh.

The dude that threatened Musk, David Allen June Cherry, was arrested after sharing at least 6 threatening posts. Examples include one to burn down Musk’s house and another claiming he had enough bullets for his bitch ass and all the rest of the manchildren. Cherry was charged with intimidation and threat to commit terrorism. Interesting to note that although those charges sound pretty darned awful, his bond was $2500 bucks.

Cherry owns an online store called Red Pawn Dynamics, which sells Communist, anarchist and political themed merchandise — and friends, who started a GoFund me account for his legal defense, say he’s a family man and nice guy. 

More rain incoming and the dog area is already a mudpie.

The good news is… it’s not supposed to snow at the barndo and temps are going to be no lower than 40° during the daytime for the next week or so. The bad news is… more rain is in the forecast.

already muddy here


Now you know: Cereal company, General Mills, had an Aeronautical Research Division that produced spy balloons for the American military and the CIA.
