Thanks for the local pronunciation.  It is well worth the effort to attempt
to pronounce names the accepted way in their locale.  Even if it seems
ridiculous, it honors the people who live there.

For those not from Texas, for instance, Leakey, Texas, would appear to be
pronounced "LEEK-ee."  Actually, it is pronounced "LAYK-ee."

Now y'all know.
