A little humor...(Maybe danged little)

Once upon a time years ago, there was an Indian Chief who had a son named "Falling Rock".

Once, after a battle with another tribe, Falling Rock didn't return to the home camp. And he never did. No one knew what had become of him. His father, the Chief, spent years trying to find out what had become of his son, and finally became so obsessed with it that he stepped down as Chief and spent the rest of his life looking for his son.

Pretty soon the white man picked up on it and turned it into a legend. To this day, when you travel the mountains in the Western and Southwestern U.S. you see signs that say, "Watch For Falling Rock".
 
Just to let you know his Dad put up a few of them there signs over here in North Westen Pa. too. His Dads' name is Pa.Dot, Seen it on the backside of the signs. > Must of been from the Dot tribe.
 
Kinda like a speaker at the local VFW banquet was telling one time. The former post commander was really full of himself,had been state commander for a year,rarely cracked a smile. The speaker said he'd found a book that translated different names in to their Indian names. He went through the names of a few other members,the then current commander,guys like that. He got to the former commander and said his name came up to be Walking Eagle. Said that was because he was too full of crap to fly.

He didn't smile then either.
 
And then the guy from " where ever you want hinm to be from" went to the local Government Office and said, OK here is a Fallen Rock, now give me a watch like the sign says!!

I have been watching for Falling Rock for years, and in the same place I have been watching for others. Tight Curves Ahead.
 
I keep seeing signs like "SLOW CHILDREN" and feel do sorry for those people. Did their kids chew on lead windowsills or bannisters? And now, I'm seeing "SCHOOL BUS STOP". Guess we're hiring older bus drivers who can't remember where the kids live. From time to time, I also see 'NO PASSING' signs. Must be baseball neighborhoods, and no football allowed. The one AI like the most is "END STATE MAINTENANCE". Kind of makes a political statement, like get off your duff and go to work for a paycheck....
 
We were never able to make it far from home on our family vacations. Every time we would stop for fuel signs said "clean bathrooms" so we did. A fuel stop would take a couple of hours.
We drove for two days to see a friend graduate from basic at Fort Leonrad Wood Mo. When we neared the turn off the sign said
"Fort Leonard Wood Left" so we just turned around and came home.
Another neighbor boy wrote home from two years at war and told his mom he had grown another foot. She sent him another sock
