The More You Know
It's funny what you learn through random surfing.Like just now, when I looked up my hometown, Kalama, Washington, on Wikipedia.
I'd always assumed that Kalama was named after a Native American tribe or word. Not so, according to the Wiki.
It was named after the Kalama River, which itself was named after a Native Hawaiian, John Kalama, who worked the fur trade on ships and finally settled in the Northwest near the Nisqually tribe.
