Driving to the sea, we spent a lot of time on FM roads, e.g. "F.M. 2292." where ever I'have been so far I have seen "I" roads (Interstate) and "SR" roads (State Route) and even "FS" roads out in the wilderness (Forest Service),, but an "F.M." road was new to us. At first I guessed the "F" stood for "Federal," but couldn't come up with an "M". Finally, noting that these roads traveled through the back-country, I decided that "F.M." was simply an abbreviation for "Farm" -- but the presence of a period between the F and M gave me a sneaking suspicion that I could be wrong. I decided to ask some one local ( a friend of mine ) answer from the friend - sorry dont know.
So, I looked it up. And the answer is ... FM = Farm to Market road. "The system of Texas Farm-to-Market Roads was created to provide access to the rural areas of the state ... The name is derived from the intended use of the roads: farmers bringing their goods to market in the cities."

Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky to John Christopher Depp, Sr. and Betty Sue Palmer. Depp engaged in self-harm as a child, due to the stress of dealing with family problems and his own insecurity. He has seven or eight scars from practicing self-harm. In a 1993 interview, he explained his self-injury by saying that his "body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist".
