What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOctober twentieth, nineteen twenty-six: the sand dunes of northern Indiana are wandering, and nobody has said where they are going.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWandering? Hank, that's the most romantic thing I've heard all week.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe page says some are ages old and moving slowly. The situation remains fluid.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhere are they now?

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAlong the southern shore of Lake Michigan, between Gary and Michigan City. That's all the column gives us.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo a hill is just taking a long walk. I think that's healthy.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe writer calls them indomitable. That means they can't be stopped. So we've stopped asking.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAn early start, real comfort while the washing is being done, and all through in an hour.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAn hour! And it says deferred payments. I'm ordering one immediately.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe ad says hundreds of thousands of users know the wash hour. It does not say what they do with the other twenty-three.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThey keep up with dunes, Hank.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Library of Congress has the page. The washing is done in an hour, and the dunes are still moving.
