Lima!

Way back in a previous century I used to drive from Chicago to Columbus, Ohio, from time to time, crossing Indiana and northern Ohio on US 30 because Interstates are boring. And right where the highway crosses the tracks in Lima, Ohio, there was (maybe still is) a company called Lima Lumber. Seeing the Lima Lumber sign (and maybe because by then a fairly long drive was nearing an end) always made me want to write a song.
Lima Lumber doodle-dandy,
Lima Lumber and assorted hardware.
OK, I'm still working on it. What's your rush?

Now it turns out Lima has a newspaper too! The Lima News. Who knew?

We don't do serious news here. If you want serious news go read our "sister" blog, House of Horrors. You won't find it there either, but read it anyway. Still, in a rush of warm, fuzzy nostalgia, we give you this story from the Lima News.

Come to think of it - not doing serious news, I mean - the story's about "congressional ethics" so, after all, it fits right in.
