Botch dots. My father worked for CalTrans before it was called CalTrans. He would tell us things about the highway system in CA when we were growing up. Botch was the last name (surname) of the man who invented them.
Botts. I'll be damned. All my life, I thought the dude's name was Botch. Sorry, Kandi. You were right and I was wrong.
