Where's communicado ? Sounds to me like a place you'd think there'd be access to the net.

It's a seaside community about 14 miles south of Marina Del Ray.

Yup. At the bottom of a long hill on the Interstate as you head east toward Nashville from Memphis. I've always regretted that they don't have a post office. I'd love to have something postmarked there.

So SRS, where is Bucksnort if you're going west?

I would figure the buck would be snorting looking at the prospect of going up the hill, right?

Anyone have a comealong and a chain?

Bucksnort (see the clicky above) didn't do anything for me. But the fact that Only Rd is the only road leading to Only is lovely.

Sue,
(Who told all these jokers to stop taking their meds, anyway?)

I wish you the best and hope that if the reason is good that it is very good, and that if it is less good that you come back better and stronger for the experience. Ate logo.

You should not eat logo, Saul, without first determining whether said logo is made of edible materials. Logo-belly can result from such reckless behaviour.

I usually notice the town when I'm traveling east, is all. It's off the interstate. Probably when you're eastbound it's a good point in the trip after leaving Memphis to stop to pee. And I also like Only Road. Very nice touch.

I've also been through Pratt's Bottom...

Driven through some strangely named villages too!

Yeah? Well, I've been through Saurin several times and lived to tell the tale!

It's a spooky place, and with a name like that should be hiding some dark and terrible secret behind its bland facade. All it consists of (on the surface, I mean) is a stretch of country road with a small house on the right and a farmer's field on the left, and a sign at each end saying "Saurin". (Creepy.....) The population, I would gather, is less than ten souls at best, but what about the undead??? I expect to see Jack Nicolson peering out madly from the windows of the little house...

Since my original name is Buck, I was delighted when my brother sent me t-shirts from Bucksnort. With the buck on them, of course. They have gone over in Connecticut just as one would expect. He did not send me a jug of the "snort" for which the place is allegedly named.
Supposedly a moonshiner named Buck was well enough known that folks used to say, "Let's head over to Buck's for a snort," and that eventually resulted in referring to the place as Bucksnort. So the t-shirt says. If it isn't true, it should be.

Pratts Bottom is only down the road from us - I used to sing quite regularly in "The Bull". It's not far from where FOLKMOB hold their Knockholt weekends.

Perhaps "Temple of the Golden Globes" should have a branch at Titsey which is also not far.
