    Window of Opportunity Otterbein Indiana   I am always grateful when driving through our small towns in the Greater Lafayette, Indiana area to see buildings in the old business districts still preserved because the owners were able to get replacement windows to fit the various and sometimes unique arched or rounded windows. This turn of the century brick building is alive and well on Main Street in Otterbein, Indiana, and one has to wonder the role of finding affordable replacement windows in helping owners keep alive some of our late 19th Century and early 20th Century business building across small town America.

I gave myself a holiday present this year, and drove (with my younger sister) to have lunch with my other younger sister in Indianapolis. That's right... she lives in Columbus and we drove out from Chicago to meet her "bout" halfway.

Along the way, we drove through a field of Wind Turbines which were impressive enough for me to drag out the i-phone, and see what I could learn about them. And, yes, these photos were taken on my iphone, through the windshield of my sisters VW Bug (she was driving) going... 12/26/2011
