Not to beat a dead horse.
I wish some would name a pond after me. I wouldn’t feel that it was a slight at all. Now if it was cesspool or a septic tank, then it might be different.
Most of us would feel a sense of pride and respect to have a pond or lake named after us. I don’t get at all the reason for the “slight”.
Now we even name USN ships after living liberal female Congress people from AZ who have never served a day in uniform, and whose only claim to fame was the misfortune of getting shot by a loser constituent.
I have a little lake in rural Il. It is named for my grand-
father who built it. He named one of the points for a boy
that worked for him and that he put through college. He was
killed in Nam. I have continued the tradition and now have
“Brian's Bay”. “Jimmy Adamos Dam” etc. Your comment helps me
think they would appreciate the gesture.
I would, but I named my pond after one of my dogs. Who liked the pond.
