Well Wayne, what can I say? They were named during a time period when we were spending FAR too much time driving up and down Highway 99. We seriously considered "Minkler" but thought we'd stick with podunk towns (with my apologies to anyone from Pixley, Goshen, or Minkler) in Tulare County. So how did you know where the names came from? We're currently living in Southern California and no one here gets the joke. It's probably beneath their catly dignity to give them such names but they don't seem to mind.

Good luck with your spring gardening. If you can keep the tails out of your face you've got it made!
