It was kinda scary doing this. You'd think people would go slower on dirt roads, but they don't. There were times I'd pull over as far as I could and stop cause the idiots would take over the road and going over 50 mph. Never would I drive directly behind anyone cause the tires would throw rocks up and hit the windshield. This would also happen when vehicles are coming towards you. Gaah, one time a big ass rock hit my windshield, scared the crap out of me, and the drivers don't give darn either.Thank you for being so kind, animals are God's creatures too.
Totally random thought considering I've never wondered about it until this very moment. Why do we say "peachy" rather than "orangey" or "grapey" or some other fruit? Where did that come from? And how does slang in general ever catch on in the first place? I mean, somewhere along the line one person says something new or in a way that it's never been used before, but what makes other people start to use the same word or expression until it just becomes commonplace? In the modern world I can can of see how it catches on, most slang begins with young people so they use some new expression online, their friends start using it, etc. But how did a word like "peachy" catch on as meaning basically "everything is good" when there was no internet to spread the use of the expression?Peachy. How are you?

I know, who really cares about this kind of thing unless you are an etymologist, but for some reason the word peachy triggered this whole line of thought.
Awww...Thank you. I really needed one.
