Oh, Frigate












Lately, I've been parking my car at Salem Methodist Church and jogging various routes in the surrounding area.









No matter which particular route I decide on, I always run past Frigate Lane.








There is something about the word frigate that makes me want to repeat it over and over and over again. I envision myself stomping as I holler, "Frigate, frigate, frigate!" It's almost therapeutic, really.








Click here for the pronunciation in case you missed all the opportunities above.

Clearly, I need to get out more.

Thanks for your patience as I reveal the inner workings of a very addled brain that attempts to provide entertainment on long, boring runs by poking fun at otherwise innocent words on signs.

Have a wonderful weekend.

    You make me laugh :)and I have learned a new word to use to replace the other "no no" word! You have a lovely weekend too!

    Lovely photos....we all need to answer the stresses of life with a simple, "Oh, FRIGGIT !"
    A seaworthy name, frigate, and as I am told I swear like a sailor, I can understand its appeal.

    Any ideas of where I could park and walk with a baby in a stroller? Need a smooth road with very little traffic. Thanks! Our road is dirt/not stroller friendly.

    Hayley, my apologies for not responding sooner. There are many side roads below the court house that have very little traffic...I usually park at Wayland Church (make a left at the Women's Club and it's the first/only church on the left) and can jog for miles without encountering a single car. Salem Church is another good place to park and walk/run, although depending which way you go, there may be a little traffic. The smooth surface you need is more difficult to find. Most of the roads are slightly bumpy, but I guess it depends on the quality of your stroller wheels. There is a track behind Thomas Hunter, but it, too, is a little bumpy. I know several folks who use jogging strollers with no problems on our side roads. If you need specific road / route numbers, I can look some up for you. Good luck!
