My wife and I are both products of counter-culture parents and along with that territory comes our unique names. Aurora knows she'll never find a souvenir with her name emblazoned on it in a gift shop anywhere in the world. Of course, being a Brandt, I found it to be the same for myself throughout my childhood. In mapping our route through Land Between the Lakes for our day trip this past weekend, I noticed a small town across Kentucky Lake from LBL named Aurora, KY. As kind of a gag, I drove my wife there for a photo op and the joke really was on us as we found her name printed on most everything in this rural southern town. Here's how one picture turned into an hour off driving around shooting and laughing....
