The story behind your username

[fredroy]

There's a little town near Corpus Christi called Edroy. It's before the road splits and you either go to Corpus or you turn south and drive through the King Ranch. I use to pass by it on the way to the Valley and the name hit my funny bone for some reason. I had a dog named Fred. So his "pet name" became "Fredroy". Like Buddy Boy or Penny Poo. Shrug. He was a great dog. I needed to come up with a user name for JUB, so, Fredroy seemed like a good choice.

Oh, and when going to the Valley, US 281 is a direct shot to Edinburg. Problem is... they've bypassed all of the little towns, so no stopping at the Dairy Queen in Alice for a pee break and some french fries and a drink. I use to make the trip from North Austin to the parent's house in 5.5 hours. When the speed limit was 55. Now you can go 70 and it takes 6.5 hours but hey, no traffic lights in little towns to deal with. No Dairy Queens on the highway either.

(@unloadonme, because I didn't notice there was a post #81) No, because French speakers aren't FranKophones, lol.

As to #81, I've long considered U. S. 281 "the beginning of the West" because nearly its entire length demarcates, or runs near the divisions of, the drier western climates and the more persistently-humid eastern ones, as it bisects the country right in the center. Impressive on a map. Rather simplistic (as there are indeed some very wet climates in the West), but it works.

An Italian hottie was on my mind (after seeing pictures online) and then I rememberd the name Nat. It just happened. That's not my name. Hehe
