Sadly, yes, The Jacobsen Project has succumbed to the challenges of modern life, and successfully missed a timely post about Lindsay's last foray across our great nation. But, rest assured, we remain committed to bringing you all of the latest news and notes, despite how new or noteworthy they may be. So, in that vein, we bring a first-ever, belated edition of "Where in the U.S.A. is Lindsay?" Although late in posting, there is no reason to be down about this trip - in fact there are many reasons to be Blue! Perhaps now best known for a local university's iconic football field, this city is far from cold to strangers. Rather, many of its buildings, including the state capital building, combat the cold through use of geothermal heating systems. For those less mechanically inclined, that does not involve the use of heated root vegetables to radiate heat. Although, a couple of piping hot exports from this state wrapped in foil can certainly warm up a coat pocket in the dead of winter, or at least help add some natural insulation to anyone's frame. No, it is "the direct use of geothermal power for heating applications," (Thanks Wikipedia!) and has apparently been utilized by humans in some form since the Paleolithic era. Well done mankind. Can you continue in your forebears ingenious legacy, and guess "Where in the U.S.A. (was) Lindsay?"
