Another name thing:
Road trip #10
I always
thought they were called hairpin curves because they were shaped like a hairpin
or bobby pin. I found out that the similarity goes even farther than that.
Hairpin curves work the same way as their namesakes. After winding through some
of those mountain roads with nothing on the left but a rock wall, and nothing
to the right but a couple of thousand feet of drop off Avon’s hair would stay
curly for days.
What’s in a nomenclature?
Old
Faithful is a geyser that does its thing on a regular basis for a long time. A
geezer is just a regular old guy – with emphasis on “old”. So, does that make
Old Faithful a geezer geyser? You saw that one coming didn’t you.
“Life is much too important
to be taken seriously.”
