We are in AZ for my MIL's memorial gathering. We decided to make a little vacation of it (shhhh..), so yesterday after we arrived, we took a walk around Carefree. It still looks like AZ up here, nothing like where I used to live. Yet, five miles south of here is horrible suburban sprawl.
Anyway, we were walking, and looked to our right and saw "Breathless Drive" which looks to be about a 15% grade (why do cyclists always notice this?). Since I don't have my bike, I ran up the street, only to find the next street intersection is called "Huff and Puff," another hill. Beautiful views and I got two good running intervals in.
That did not make up for the 2 beers I drank, while visiting my friend from college.

Funny!
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Hilarious! Wonder who got to name them that? Obviously a cyclist or a runner!

Those are too funny! Seeing your thread title reminds me of the day I had my wisdom teeth out and my mom was driving me home while I was still pretty loopy from the sedation. The meds also had the side effect of making me really nauseous so I was dry-heaving into a ziploc bag at various points during the ride. At one such point we were taking a turn and I looked up and saw a street sign that read "Hurley Lane"! Not that funny by itself, but the timing was priceless!!

Twenty miles south, we have Stalker Elementary. It's not far from Needmore School!
