My friend shot my other friend in the ass with a BB gun while he was taking a shit in the bushes out at Hagg Lake when we were in high school. Sounds like that place has really gone downhill.

I use to work with a lady at Tektronix whose last name was Scoggins and she lived in Hillsboro. I wonder if that road was named after her family name. Okay, off topic but my curiosity is piqued.
