I realize this is not what you would call a desktop picture but there is a cute story behind it. This road is located just outside of Dodge City. Years ago, people used this road to bring their butter and eggs to market. Thus the name. But, not long ago authorities wanted to change the name of the road to Laramie. Citizens living on the road had an uprising because they wanted to keep the name. I mean how many Butter and Egg Roads are there in this world? The citizens won. The name stays.

I can't believe someone wanted to change the name. It's pretty cool! Good shot for Manic Monday, Pat.

Momma, reading your narrative and viewing the visible proof , I'll do our city council the proposal to rename the street where I live into 'Scrambled Eggs Drive' because I'm permanently starving, lol.

Thanks for this funny shot Pat. Thanks too for the smile!!
