Here's the thing, though: Hanford and Lemoore are real towns west of Visalia on highway 198. There are two signs that read: Hanford Lemoore and one of them is elevated above the roadway, so unless you're a structural engineer, I don't think you put that one up. So, am I misunderstanding your story, or are you having a good laugh right now? :) -martin PS- If Hanford is not your real name, and you got it from the sign, well, there's nothing wrong with that. It's in fact quite a dignified sounding name, and certainly nowhere near as ludicrous as, say, Otto Von Stroheim. I was just excited at the prospect of potentially uncovering its origin. Do tell, my good man.
