How About ‘Gummint Way’?

A Berry Picker wonders why the new green-and-white street signs at Government Way & Lancaster, near Huckleberries nursery in Hayden, aren't synchronized. Seems the sign on the north side identifies the intersection as "Govt Way" & Lancaster. So good, so far. But the sign on the south side identifies the intersection as "Gov'mt Way" & Lancaster. Too bad there isn't room for "Gummint" Way," to honor area rednecks.
