Here's a potential giggle to round out a crappy year ;-) My mother was a registered nurse - so for 50+ years I heard these two letters used in a MUCH different context than the proud citizens of Battle Mountain Nevada had in mind... Every time I drive by towing the 64 Aloha I burst into laughter.

Many towns in NV have their initials laid into a nearby mountain. Always wondered why. Was it a navigation aid for planes?
I can't think off hand what inaporopriate initials BM would stand for.

BM is short for Bowel Movement - used by nurses and others in the health care industry.

I remember in one of our road trips as a kid traveling through somewhere and seeing a large BM on the side of a mountain something like this one. Maybe it was the same. We were traveling out of California.
We used the term BM in our house growing up.it was brought in by my dad who was born in the thirties. So, it was a moment for chuckle in our car during our family road trip.
Cheers,
Rod

Battle Mountain NV is where they race bicycles every year to see who can break the 78 mph speed record. 50 years ago when I raced bicycles BM would have been fun. Now I watch the videos on YouTube. I have 1 of those speed bikes at my age best I can do is 32 mph. LOL A year ago I had my bike up to 40 mph down a steep hill. LOL Above 50 mph goggles are needed to see except inside of a racing bike.
