Which I learned was pronounced as cue way (but more like one syllable). It appears in Belfast, Ireland they are a "k".

Walmart used to have good and knowledgeable people in the watch & jewelry dept., and I liked that they would always change the watch band for me as I can't see those little prongs very well. Now if I can find someone, they tell me they "aren't allowed to do it".

Not quite as unusual as a stop sign, but there's a few that are unusual. It always amazes me when I'm out west or any old cemetery, really, how many infants never made it past a year old. And, it almost seems that if you reach 40, you reached od age--a testament to the hard life pioneers lived. Thanks for sharing your drive with us.
