Investigators say several leads brought them to the 200 block of Barton Bend Road, where they executed a search warrant. While detectives were at the address, a vehicle pulled up with stolen property from unreported crimes in Austin that had just taken place.

More than $20,000 in stolen property was recovered from multiple burglaries in Hays and Travis counties. The seven arrested following a two-day search of the property included those believed to be behind the burglaries as well as people on the property who had active arrest warrants.

I’ve always been amused by Climax being just down the road from Horneytown, myself.

Good sense of humor,North Carolina.

The meth is strong with those mug shots.

As to town names, how about Knockemstiff in Ross County Ohio.

PA leads the ‘league’..

Does now but before it had to be the NE corner of Metro Parkway and Van Dyke in Sterling Hgts., MI. The shopping complex was then known as DYKE Land.............LOL!

It has since been changed.........

I once danced with girl who was from Soddy Daisy outside of Chattanooga.

[Mears]

Hmmm,I certainly hope that SHE wasn’t soddy.

No, she was under the age of 18. I had no idea until I asked her what she did. “I go to school”. “Oh” I said, “Are you in college”? “No, I go to high school.”

It was a dance hall where you BYOB. Saturday night about 10 pm.

I said, “What are you doing here?”

“I’m waitin’ fer my boyfriend.”

Me: “Thanks for the dance” and I got as far from her as I could.

I was working in Chattanooga and the guy that was in charge of the installation I was doing took me to a club called “EL’s Fuzzy Duck”. I’m not kidding.

Twenty something years ago I was thinking in the same vein while driving through it. We had just moved to the Hill Country and I tried to rename it Dripping Richards. Got the look from my wife and haven’t tried it again since.

“Me: “Thanks for the dance” and I got as far from her as I could.”

Based upon the photos of those eight I don’t believe they are there to get hitched........

With our hills hosting over 3,500 weddings a year, even the Texas Legislature
agreed, Dripping Springs is the official, “Wedding Capital of Texas®.”

I’ll bet they are———everyone I know that has visited the area loved it.

I always wondered about Turlock (CA) and hoped I’d never catch it.

Soddy Daisy..right close to Red Bank.

Know a guy who has some renters that

kinda favor those mug shots.

They look like cedar choppers.

Now, there's a correspondent who has spent some time in Austin. ;-)

At one point in the distant past, while living in Austin, I had some business associates, Austin natives all, who insulted each other by calling one another "cedar chopper." One guy could have been the inspiration for Boomhauer on "King of the Hill." He worked with his mother, who, while she had the requisite experience for the business, nonetheless started her day by polishing off a six-pack of Miller Lite. The Boomhauer guy had several other people from his family working in this business from time to time, and all of them were mentally malformed in one respect or another, to varying degrees. Just from outward appearances as to the rest of this bunch, it was never quite clear that incest was completely off the moral/ethical table, as it were.

One would call another a "cedar choppper," and the other would respond, "I'm a cedar chopper? No, you're a cedar chopper!" All these Bubbaland (South Austin, for the uninitiated) rednecks stumbling somewhat drunkenly about, calling each other "cedar choppers." And this would have been at 10:30 am.

There were times I wanted to point out that all of them, in fact, were cedar choppers, but I didn't think it was in my interest to chase off paying work.

Just make sure to always wash your hands. :-)
