STRANDED IN SHIPSHEWANA

Yesterday I was a vendor at a one day local wholesale fabric show at the Farmstead Inn in Shipshewana, Indiana. From the moment that I arrived to set up at 7:00AM it started snowing. The forecast for the day was for up to twelve inches of snow. The same snowstorm was over the entire midwest and included Chicago - where thousands of flights were cancelled at the two area airports. Instead of making the effort to return to Chicago as I had planned, I decided to stay one extra night and I checked into the Farmstead Inn. I had planned on visiting a local YMCA on the way back home, as those plans were scuttled, I was limited to the small fitness room at the hotel. Their elliptical machine was very stingy with the calories burned.  The machine was a brand that I had never seen before: HORIZON EX-69.  After a two hour workout set to the maximum resistance, the machine recorded only that I had burned 1140 calories. These kinds of numbers always make me wonder: Is it this machine that it stingy? or is the the other machines that I use that way too generous?  My assumption is that the truth, as always, lies somewhere in the middle....

undated photo.  Amish buggy in a snow storm.  The wonderful thing about this photo is that  it could have been taken 100 years ago or yesterday.  There is nothing in the photo that would betray the era when it was taken.  Yesterday, I was stuck in a Shipshewana snowstorm which is Amish country.  I passed plenty of buggies that looked just like this when I drove into town on Tuesday evening.
