Ever wonder why we can't make everything perfect?

Brigitte Dale provides the best explanation we've seen of why busybody attempts to control peoples' habits often have the opposite effect. Are you listening, Elkhart City Council?



Brigitte's very clever podcast is readily found on YouTube or via iTunes.

Ok, it happened!

Elkhart Review is now moved to its own domain. You're there now, even if you put elkhartreview.blogspot.com in your browser's address line -- Blogger is now redirecting to our new server.

The layout is similar to before, and there will be considerable tweaking here, but that will take place over time. The blog may actually move to a secondary page, but we're still figuring that out.

Feel free to comment, respond to posts, and make suggestions. We'll be sure to pay more attention to you than the Elkhart City Council (more on that later.)

Tattoo who?

Local attorney Benjamin Pfaff has apparently been having difficulty remembering his name. He's enlisted the help of a Florida tattoo artist, however, and this should no longer be a problem. (Cell phone photo is of Ben's back -- we're told the letters are around 3 inches or so high).

Truth or Scam?

For a couple of weeks this month, at least until the weather got really hot, this woman could be seen every day, all day, at the intersection of U.S. 33 and Sunnyside, near the Martin's Concord store. Her problem, if real, is one with which I can sympathize, but I couldn't help thinking if she'd spend eight hours a day looking for a job instead of pacing the lane divider with a sign, she would probably improve her situation much more quickly. Jobs are available in Elkhart, even if they're not fabulous jobs. Does panhandling really pay that well? I wonder.

And drinking doesn't change anything either...
