Ya Never Know

After the truck incident, I thought it best to get off this seemingly dangerous and, well, uninspiring road. An intersection appeared and I looked down the road and saw something which looked interesting. It was so interesting I decided to sell the house and let you see a big picture of it. It is what is left of a deserted sand mine. I have never seen an attempt to ward off eroion in these places. I guess that's the plan. I speculate a lot.

The road did not pan out and I back tracked. More straight gravel road and then:

A new road was served up. Was I on a roll.

I think the road was old and it was called "New" because at some time it had been new or there was a New family in the neighborhood for which it was named.
Perpetually the New family in the neighborhood. Not always a fun thing, so be nice to them. Where was I?

     I saw a park that my wife, grandson and I had visited years ago, so I continued east toward it, leaving New Road and joining Little Black Creek Rd. Little Black Creek being the name of the park, also.
      Mississippi, I am getting the impression, does not number smaller roads. It names them for what they do like joining communities or going to places, or riding along things like creeks, rivers or bluffs.
      A road going from Town A to Town B would be called AB Road. Not having a map and wanting to get to Town A, you'd have a 50% chance of arriving at the desired town. Some roads are just called "Town A Road". Going the wrong direction of it could be very disappointing.
      Maybe the names are written in the direction of the town (in the case of a 2 town name). The Town A name would be closer to Town A. Town Be, closer to Town B. A novel idea.
       A one town named road could be written "Town A-Boondocks Rd." depicting the appropriate directions.
