A venerable Fort Wayne restaurant — the Acme Bar — is closing.
The gathering spot “Where Neighbors Meet” since 1941 — that slogan is painted on the wall — will close its doors for the last time Saturday night. The adjacent package store will close, too.
The Acme has one of the most extensive bar menus around and is justifiably famous for its breaded tenderloins. Institutions come and go, I know, but the departures are starting to pile up.
An Indiana University study has spent good money to discover something any man over the age of 16 could have told them:
Don’t take flirtatious women for granted. They may not be be interested in you at all but are just being friendly, says a new study.
People of both sexes looking for romance are quite good at reading the male’s interest, but equally bad at misjudging the female’s interest.
“The hardest-to-read women were being misperceived at a much higher rate than the hardest-to-read men. Those women were being flirtatious, but it turned out they weren’t interested at all,” said study co-author Skyler Place.
Women flirt. Big shock. One of the biggest parts of men’s romantic education is learning when women are serious and when’ they’re just kidding. And no matter how good you think you are at it, there’s always one who will fool you. One of the perpetrators of this study says that “evolutionary theory” predicts a certain level of coyness or even deceptiveness in women “because if a relationship is abandoned they face greater costs, including pregnancy and child rearing.” Well, OK, I guess, if we’re talking about an established relationship. Not sure it explains flirting with every man in sight.
Some women are flirtier than others. Most of the time, it’s harmless, even cute. And some women are so over the top that no one takes them seriously. There was a woman in LaPorte County whom everybody called “(First name withheld) O’Really” because very quickly in a conversation with any man, her hands would go up to the side of her face (you know the gesture), and she’d exclaim, “Oh, really?”
If the mean old GOP was trying to intimidate the poor widdle Democrats into staying home on Election Day, it was a spectacular failure:
The monster in the closet is dead. As Hans von Spakovsky points out in the Wall Street Journal today, the diagnosis is in. Voters - all of them - prevailed. Minority voters, who liberal hysterics fantasized would be disenfranchised by stricter voter ID laws in Georgia and Indiana, turned out in record numbers everywhere. They turned out in larger numbers in Georgia and Indiana than neighboring states with more relaxed ID requirements.
The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, incompetent again!
Miss America, the beauty pageant scholarship contest winner formerly known as Miss Indiana, is apparently no shrinking violet:
When it was clear she had emerged as a favorite of the judges, she and a group of other leading contenders were asked, “Why should you be Miss America?”
Stam, 22, boldly grabbed the bull by the horns in a manner rarely seen in the pageant world, where so much is riding on the right response.
“This is a transitional year for Miss America,” she said. “We’re trying to rebuild the image of Miss America, making her the ‘it’ girl and I am the ‘it’ girl.
“I can take Miss America to the next level, put her in the public eye, give her the media attention that she needs, rebuild the program, make it what we want it to be.”
She also said it had been an exciting year, because Barack Obama became the first African-American president, “and now I’m Miss America!” Oh, and here’s the part of the pageant where Stam walked around in her bikini ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/24/mis-america-pageant-updat_n_160627.html ) — don’t ever say I’m not trying to elevate the level of the offerings here.
Southern Illinois University drafted a new plagiarism policy in 2007 after facing scrutiny for several high profile copying controversies, but now the school has another awkward problem: It appears the policy plagiarizes part of a document created by Indiana University in 2005.
Southern Illinois is not alone in lifting the material. Several other groups have also decided to adopt parts of the policy, but they attributed it to Indiana University, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, which reported the story Wednesday.
Maybe they should call in Vice President Joe Biden as a consultant; bet he could straighten ‘em out.
New York may have had its Soup Nazi, immortalized in a few “Seinfeld” episodes, but Indiana had the Cone Nazi:
Elinor May Everett Stingley, who served up ice cream and admonishments to locals and celebrities alike during her half-century as the strict “Cone Lady” at a park-side ice cream shop, has died at age 101.
Stingley, who died Tuesday, became a local legend known as the “Cone Lady” for her 51 years of serving up ice cream cones at Original Frozen Custard, a Lafayette landmark that opened in 1932 next to the city’s Columbian Park.
She oversaw the store’s cone window well into her 90s and was known for telling customers, “We do not mix flavors” and for refusing to serve anything but cones if a customer seeking some other treat appeared before her.
To those customers she would simple declare they were in “a cone line only” — and she made no exceptions, her granddaughter, Aleeah Livengood of Mulberry, told the Journal & Courier.
That’s the kind of thing that sounds cute and charming from a distance, but it was probably maddening to encounter. And speaking of quaint Hoosier characters, I wonder if this uninvited guest will grow up to be one, or even make it to 30:
A woman who wasn’t invited to her sister’s wedding reception showed up anyway and attacked the bride, pulling out clumps of her hair, police said.
Annmarie Bricker, 23, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of battery, The Times of Munster, Indiana reported Friday.
Jeremy Glotzbach told police he was hosting a reception for newlyweds Nicholas Landry and Lori Kappes at his home on Jan. 23 when Bricker, Kappes’ sister, attacked Kappes on the front porch.
Bricker pulled out clumps of Kappes’ hair, struck her head and took the bride to the ground during a struggle, according to the Porter County Sheriff’s Department
After the incident, the story said, Bricker resigned from her job — as a Porter County sheriff’s dispatcher. Don’t know why — she’s probably very good at the job. “You called us for a lousy car accident? Take care of it yourself, you jerk.”
John Dillinger was not a killer—at least among the wax figures of 1930s gangsters, fake tommy guns and “Most Wanted” posters in a Hammond museum.
And the notorious outlaw once known as Public Enemy No. 1 has a great-nephew to thank for that.
After an eight-year court battle, the John Dillinger Museum last week started the process of changing all its signs that refer to Dillinger as a murderer or killer. Now they must either add “alleged” to the signs or include a sentence indicating that Dillinger was never convicted of murder.
All because of Jeffrey Scalf of Indiana, whose almost-full-time job is protecting the legacy of a great-uncle he never met and convincing people that, while Dillinger was an outlaw, he was never a killer.
[. . .]
Scalf’s attorneys have taken aim at other museums, hotels, restaurants, video games and even the Professional Bull Riders Inc. which tried marketing a bull named Dillinger. Most of the disputes were either settled before suits were filed or have since been resolved.
Yeah, gotta protect the legacy of that poor, misundrestood bank robber. All this nonsense is possible because of Indiana’s “postmortem right of publicity” law, which allows descendants to charge for or prevent the use of someone’s name, likeness, voice or personality for 100 years after the person’s death. Only 25 years to go!
As the economy continues to weaken, the toll of human tragedy continues to mount:
On the eve of the annual Wing Bowl, there is a nationwide chicken shortage that is driving up the price of chicken wings.
Like the feeling you get after an incomplete pass, a Super Bowl party without wings can leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.
Wing prices always go up before the Bowl, but this year, the cost of wings has taken flight thanks to a wing shortage across the country.
“Before Christmas, they were $1.29 a pound and now they are up to $1.79, so they have gone up about 50 cents,” Cavanaugh’s Restaurant and Sports Bar owner Brian Pawliczek said.
[. . .]
Pilgrim’s Pride, which supplied one quarter of the country’s 24 billion wings last year, filed for bankruptcy protection in December.
The National Chicken Council Board says chicken production is down by 5 percent this year.
50 cents a pound more — oh, the humanity! Have a manly snack, ya wimps!
Even Richard Lugar falls under the spell of the Goracle:
Though some lawmakers tangled with Gore on his last visit to Capitol Hill, none did on the Foreign Relations Committee yesterday. Dick Lugar (Ind.), the ranking Republican, agreed that there will be “an almost existential impact” from the climate changes Gore described.
[. . .]
Lugar, a 32-year veteran of the Senate, asked Gore, as a “practical politician,” how to get the votes for climate-change legislation. “I am a recovering politician. I’m on about Step 9,” the Goracle replied, before providing his vision.
“Existential impact,” indeed. If the silly asses don’t destroy the country with their bailouts and stimuli, they’ll finish it off with their global-warming spending. Dick, Dick, Dick. Didn’t we learn you better than that in Indiana?
BBB of Northern Indiana will introduce the ratings/letter grade system on Feb. 1 to the northern Indiana community.
The new ratings system, adopted by all BBBs in the United States and Canada, is one more step in our branding strategy. When consumers search reports on companies, they will no longer see just “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory.” It will be a letter grade, A+ through F.
Because of our school experience, most of us can easily grasp a company’s grade. It flunks or is excellent or is somewhere in between and sort of average. But trying to sort through all that seems like a lot of work. We really just want to know one thing from the BBB: Is a company trustworthy or not? By the time we contact the BBB, we’ve probably already decided to use a company’s services unless we hear something scary. Do we really want to have to figure out if a “C” company is OK or if we should keep searching for a “B” one?
Movie ratings are that way, too. We’re usually pretty safe with a four-star movie, and we certainly want to avoid the one-star ones, but what kind of mood do we have to be in to take a chance on a two-star or three-star one? That’s too complicated for a friend I had in Michigan City, so he came up with his own rating system. A movie either “stinks,” “doesn’t stink” or is “better than doesn’t stink.”
That’d work for companies, too. Help keep me away from the stinkers and steer me to the ones that don’t stink. “Better than doesn’t stink” can be the occasional and welcome rare surprise.
About two-thirds of the way through the story about the Shawnee Middle School student who took a gun and 13-round clip to school is this disturbing detail:
The incident stemmed from a group of students, including the one who brought the gun, being harassed outside the Boys & Girls Club on Fairfield Avenue last week by some boys, one with a gun, the report said.
Following that, the students went to one of their homes to get a gun from his mother’s bedroom. When they went back to find the other boys, they couldn’t find them, the report said. So instead, they brought the gun to school the next day. The boy’s father contacted the school’s administrator Sunday to report his son had had the gun.
Sounds like there could have been a gun battle between 12- and 13-year-olds in front of the Boys & Girls Club if those other boys had been there. The father did the right thing and reported that his son had taken the gun to school, but how responsible was he in the first place to leave it where his son could get at it? Guys like him make it tough on Second Amendment defenders. And a kid with a gun outside the Boys & Girls Club? I hope the people in charge there are paying attention.
I really like my Pontiac Bonneville, but it’s paid for, so maybe I should consider buying a Ford:
Ford Motor Co. today reported its worst full-year loss on record, but reiterated that it has enough cash and credit available to survive the year without resorting to government funding and said it is ending its controversial jobs bank program.
[. . .]
Ford is the only domestic automaker that has yet to ask for government loans to help it survive, but the depth of its loss, combined with increasingly pessimistic projections for automotive industry sales this year, is likely to add renewed vigor to questions about the company’s ability to survive without federal help.
Anything we can do to keep one domestic automaker free of “government help” might mean at least one company might make some cars we actually want — if mileage and emission standards don’t put them all out of business.
While we’ve been busy arguing over whether George W. Bush’s policies have or have not kept America safe, it turns out that Berkeley, Calif., is the nation’s true instrument of peace:
Berkeley’s public library will face a showdown with the city’s Peace and Justice Commission tonight over whether a service contract for the book check-out system violates the city’s nuclear-free ordinance.
The dispute centers on a five-year, $63,000 contract the library wants to sign with 3M, an international technology company based in Minnesota, to service five scanner machines library patrons use to check out books.
But 3M, a company with operations in 60 countries, refused to sign Berkeley’s nuclear-free disclosure form as required by the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act passed by voters in 1986.
As a result, the library’s self-checkout machines have not been serviced in about six months. Library officials say 3M is the only company authorized by the manufacturer to fix the machines, which were purchased in 2004.
As a result, the library’s self-checkout machines have not been serviced in about six months. Library officials say 3M is the only company authorized by the manufacturer to fix the machines, which were purchased in 2004.
The library asked the Peace and Justice Commission for a waiver, but at its Jan. 5 meeting the commission voted 7-1, with two abstentions, to reject the request. The library is now appealing the decision to the City Council.
[. . .]
Commissioners said the library should try harder to find a company that complies with the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act.
“We really mean it when we say we don’t want to be part of the nuclear machinery,” said commission member George Lippman. “The act is meant to be a blow against nuclear war. We’re serious about upholding that.”
So if the nuclear holocaust comes, blame those evil 3M warmongers, not the members of the Berkeley Peace & Justice Commission.
Men who worry about the effect drinking has on their sex life should raise a glass to the latest research.
Alcohol actually improves rather than damages male performance in the bedroom, it is claimed.
[. . .]
So-called low-risk drinkers, those who have four drinks a day for up to five days a week, fared best.
Worst were former drinkers who had given up the booze, along with smokers and victims of heart disease.
Not saying I know this from experience, you understand, but I’ve heard that, up to a point, drinking does enhance sexual performance, but it’s all, um, downhill after that point. Determining that point, unfortunately, is not easy for someone who is, you know, under the influence of alcohol. One of life’s great tragedies!
The economic downturn may have accelerated the Post Office’s difficulties, but it hardly seems fair to make it the sole culprit:
The U.S. Postal Service may be forced to eliminate a day of mail service because the economic downturn has led to plummeting volume and revenue, the postmaster general said Wednesday.
Postmaster General John E. Potter, in testimony before a Senate subcommittee, warned of a possible worst-case scenario: eliminating the requirement to deliver mail six days a week to every address in America.
The Post Office’s problem is that it has been trying to tweak its mission instead of drastically redefining it to acknowledge the new realities of the digital age (a failing of newspapers, too, I fear). And reducing the number of days of service will just further reduce demand for the service.
Don’t think it would affect my life one bit if they went to five days of service, or even four. Does anybody ever look forward to getting the mail anymore? It’s bills and junk.
In contrast to the House, where Republicans complain that the $819 billion economic recovery package has been drafted without their input, the Senate is ramping up for a more open process. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed on Wednesday by a vote of 244 to 188, with no Republican support. Eight Democrats voted with 177 Republicans to oppose the bill.
Of course, it’s easy to stand on principle when the outcome is preordained and you know your vote doesn’t really matter. Some might even call it posturing. What happened to the conservative principles of the 91 Republicans who voted for the $700 billion bailout monstrosity, half of which has already been thrown down the rathole? A “no” vote might have meant something then. If the bailout hadn’t passed, the precedent wouldn’t have been set to act hastily out of panic and call it repsonsible leadership. And when we spend billions and it doesn’t work, we panic even harder. We will spend even more, but this time we will spend it better. Honest! We really mean it this time!
Republicans are correct that this is just a Democratic wish list of pork projects that have very little to do with stimulus or recovery. But they’d be more credible if they’d established a slightly more responsible record on spending when they were in charge of Congress.
Who’da thunk it? The IU Student Association is pushing for legislation that would produce an almost-conservative plan for getting folks to spend money and boost the economy:
The bill will provide a “sales tax holiday” at the beginning each school semester and will take the sales tax off school items such as supplies, textbooks, computers and clothing for three full days.
“This bill is not just for Indiana students, but is also a stimulus package for Indiana families,” said senior Mark Reid, assistant director of Legislative and Governmental Relations for IUSA.
So, let’s see. If the tax is taken off those items, they will be cheaper, so people will be more inclined to buy them? That the way it works? Well, then, let’s just take that a little further. Eliminate the sales tax on everything all the time, and people will buy a lot more. And if we eliminate the income tax, people will have more income with which to buy things. Eliminate the gas tax, and people will drive more, needing replacement cars sooner. Eliminate the property tax, and watch the real estate maket boom. As a matter of fact, let’s just eliminate all taxes on everything and have a completely tax-free economy. What a stimulus plan!
Sorry. Got a little bit carried away there. A little overstimulated, I guess.
Omigod, it’s the cops! Where’ll I hide? I know, the closet:
According to Indiana State Trooper Kyle Dukes, the person responsible for the break-ins entered the homes by kicking in doors and breaking out windows. The suspect then made himself at home, living in the residences for days. During this time, the suspect ate food, drank beer, and wore the homeowner’s clothes. The burglar also made off with such items as electronics, tools and televisions.
The burglar left more than a mess at one home. Police discovered his wallet in the pocket of the victim’s coveralls.
The wallet contained Kupczynski’s identification.
[. . .]
The homeowner was contacted in Chicago, and troopers were given permission to enter the home. Inside they found a home that was ransacked, a stack of electronics near the front door, and the owner of the wallet, Kupczynski, hiding in a closet.
No, no, that’s the first place they’ll look. I know, in the dumpster!
Police officers say they found a bank robbery suspect hiding in a trash bin behind a northwestern Indiana grocery store.
Crown Point police say the man was burned by an exploding dye pack following the robbery at a TCF Bank branch inside the grocery store Monday afternoon.
This year marks the 50th anniversary (Monday will be the actual day) of the event that inspired the most tediously long song in rock ‘n’ roll history (with the possible exception of “Stairway to Heaven”):
CLEAR LAKE, Iowa – It’s been 50 years since a single-engine plane crashed into a snow-covered Iowa field, instantly killing three men whose names would become enshrined in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.
The passing decades haven’t diminished fascination with that night on Feb. 2, 1959, when 22-year-old Buddy Holly, 28-year-old J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson and 17-year-old Ritchie Valens performed in Clear Lake and then boarded the plane for a planned 300-mile flight that lasted only minutes.
“It was really like the first rock ‘n’ roll landmark; the first death,” said rock historian Jim Dawson, who has written several books about music of that era. “They say these things come in threes. Well, all three happened at the same time.”
The music didn’t really die. It just started sucking.
It’s way too late to even wish for this, but “doing nothing” is a lot better than being stupid:
Instead of fighting over what should go in the economic stimulus bill, pitting infrastructure spending against tax cuts and contractors against contraceptives, they say lawmakers should be fighting against the very idea of any economic stimulus at all. Call them the Do-Nothing Crowd.
“The economy was too big. It was all phantom wealth borrowed from abroad,” says Andrew Schiff, an investment consultant at Euro Pacific Capital and a card-carrying member of the stand-tall-against-the-stimulus lobby. “All this stimulus money is geared toward getting consumers spending and borrowing again. But spending and borrowing were the problem in the first place.”
“Spending and borrowing” were the problem in the first place. That could be the motto of the baby boom generation, which is now reacting to its first “self-created, big-time recession” with predictable hysteria:
The reaction to the economic panic was sort of analogous to the call to ‘charge it!’ after 9/11 (cf. Ike’s fights about the surtax to pay for Korea), or to the Iraq 2006 upsurge in violence, when suddenly our leaders declared the war lost, blamed the nebulous “they” for tricking them into voting for the war, and calling for immediate withdrawals and retreats. Ditto the Stalag-Gulag Guantanamo that, by January 19, had ruined the Constitution, shredded the Bill of Rights, and forever tarnished our reputation. Yet, on the 20th, it was suddenly complex and problematic, and required a “task force” to do a year-long inquiry into the bad and worse choices confronting us. At some point in all this serial hysteria, we are beginning to see the problem is not in the stars of the economy or of the war, but in ourselves—a weird generation that, when it finally came of age, proved to be just about what we could expect of it from what we saw in its youth.
And how much of that “stimulus” package wll actually be stimulative? Well, about 12 cents on the dollar, if we want to be generous:
In selling the plan, President Obama has said this bill will make “dramatic investments to revive our flagging economy.” Well, you be the judge. Some $30 billion, or less than 5% of the spending in the bill, is for fixing bridges or other highway projects. There’s another $40 billion for broadband and electric grid development, airports and clean water projects that are arguably worthwhile priorities.
Add the roughly $20 billion for business tax cuts, and by our estimate only $90 billion out of $825 billion, or about 12 cents of every $1, is for something that can plausibly be considered a growth stimulus. And even many of these projects aren’t likely to help the economy immediately. As Peter Orszag, the President’s new budget director, told Congress a year ago, “even those [public works] that are ‘on the shelf’ generally cannot be undertaken quickly enough to provide timely stimulus to the economy.”
If a certain actor named Patrick kept changing where he sat in his living room until he found the perfect place to sit that brought the greatest harmony to the room and the greatest feeling of peace within himself, could that be called Feng Swayze?
We have an interesting column on today’s page from Eleanor Marine, chair of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic board, about the ongoing search for a new music director for the orchestra. It’s a lot bigger and more complicated process than you might imagine for a philharmonic in a city this size. They got more than 275 applications. Based on the applicants’ resumes, that field was narrowed to 100, each of whom was asked to subit a videotape showing direction of an orchestra. Through other processes, they got it down to 20 and then to eight. Those eight each had to conduct two concerts with the orchestra and go through dozens of interviews with board member, musicians and community members:
The successful candidate will need to be a superior musician with great communication skills and an interest in music education and the community at large. Conducting is only the most visible part of a music director’s job. He or she must also be the public face of the orchestra, plan the programming, guide the music education efforts, and work with the board and staff in fundraising.
After all that, I’d be willing to bet that the person who finally gets the job will win because of the gut instincts of the people charged with making the decision. Eight finalists out of 275 applicants are likely to be roughly equal in talent and experience.
That’s one of the dirty little secrets of hiring. One of the most important factors — how right or wrong the person seems for the job, a highly subjective judgment — is one of the most important factors and one of the least talked about. It isn’t very “fair,” after all, and could land a company in court in a heartbeat.
My sister says everybody in Indianapolis is talking about the bus stop bandits. On Thursday, at least four high school students were victimized at four separate bus stops and robbed of MP3 players and cell phones and probably even their lunch money. Now, two 13-year-old middle school brothers have been attacked at their bus stop. It doesn’t even seem to be the same set of attackers — the dirtbags are copying each other in this lowest-of-the-low crimes:
It just enrages you,” said Pam Griffin, who lives a few houses away from the bus stop and has a granddaughter who lives in the neighborhood.
[. . .]
“It’s a really frightening problem for citizens that live in this county,” Benjamin said. “We need to be proactive.”
I’m guessing Indy police will throw everything they have into this — if they don’t, they’re utter fools. These are just the kind of incidents that get people buying guns and forming vigilante groups. Thank goodness the creeps in Fort Wayne haven’t sunk this low yet.
Mark Souder is being a pouty, whiny Republican obstructionist again. Just because a few fat-cat TV station owners are complaining about the extra expense of sending out dual signals for four months, Souder is refusing to go along with the unanimous vote of the Senate in delaying the Feb. 17 switchover to digital (mandated by Congress) until June 12:
Rep. Mark Souder, R-3rd, said the delay isn’t needed because viewers have been reminded for months that the switch was coming and that they needed to prepare. He said he will vote against the bill.
“I and everyone have been inundated with this information,” he said of the commercials the stations have aired for months to remind viewers of the coming switch.
You mean somebody has been putting the word out on this for months? I must have missed it. Come on, Mark, there are thousands and thousands of people who aren’t ready yet. The government ran out of the $1.34 billion it had allocated to provide $80 per household for converter boxes, and how is a poor family with only analog TV supposed to come up with 80 whole dollars in a recession?
Or does Mark think it’s funny that a government that has approved a $1 trillion bailout and is contemplating a nearly $1 trillion “stimulus” plan runs out of money in a measly $1.5 billion program?
Harrison Square is in trouble. The baseball field is moving right along, but there are growing doubts about the condos and the hotel and the shops. Boy, if we could just turn the corner and get that thing finished. Then the tourists would come and the money would flow and the downtown renaissance would begin. Well, maybe. Let’s consider Indianapolis, where sports promoters have been more successful in getting projects off the ground:
The Indianapolis Capital Improvement Board, which manages Lucas Oil Stadium and other sports venues, revealed Tuesday that its operating deficit could grow to $43 million by next year, far worse than projected and too large for it to solve alone.
Not alone? Who might be asked to help? Don’t be shocked, but:
It also could ask city taxpayers for help, though no new taxes could be raised without the OK of the city or state.
A City-County Council member says that raising taxes in a recession would “likely” provoke a strong negative reaction and that some might say “enough is enough.” Really, do you think? The recession, in fact, is offered as one reason for the CIB’s problems. There are unanticipated loan and insurance obligations, and debts are being called in by banks short on cash. But some bad deals were made, too, and promoters engaged in more than a little wishful thinking about the benefits of having sports teams.
The excuse that “the recession could not have been foreseen” is not justified for the CIB, Harrison Square or anything else dreamed up by government “economic development” experts. There are always economic downturns, and business suffers when that happens. Those in the private sector know that and find ways to deal with it, but it always seems to catch governments by surprise. If government were just tending to its proper role, it could concentrate on poviding the basics during downturns instead of having to scramble to shore up things it shouldn’t have been messing with in the first place.
Oh, this just in. The board’s financial troubles are not expected to affect Indianapolis’ hosting of the 2012 Super Bowl. Well, never mind then. It’s all worth it.
