when we were young, our family would vacation in Wisconsin at a resort on a lake. While traveling on one of the gravel road leading to the lake there was a sign that said Honky Dory, and we looked and saw a road grader. Until we were older and know the difference, we always thought a road grader was call a Honky Dory!
