Just Wondering.....

We made a trip to the mall today. I say "trip" because it is about an hour's drive to get there. On the way home, instead of my usual nap (I wasn't driving!), I entertained myself - and my husband/chauffeur - by reading road signs. Some of the road names are very picturesque - Crooked Creek Drive, Misty Meadows, Wildflower Lane. I like those! Some, like Ruth, Hill, Bruckner, Beardsley, appear to be named for the people who live on those particular roads. That makes sense. But then there are the others.....roads with names like Hardscrabble, Pigpen, Possum Trot, Lotawatah, Bear Wallow. And my personal favorite - Shake Rag Road. Who thinks of this stuff????
