Billybob--eastern part of England--is that East Anglia?   I understand there are a lot of names in that part of the country which New Englanders also adopted in the 17th century--since East Anglia is where many of them came from. Cambridge, Boston, Dedham, Braintree. Can you think of any?

And are you catching up from the drought yet? We've finally (today) got a reasonable amount of rain (of course now they're talking about a flash flood watch)--possibly courtesy of a hurricane considerably south of us. Maybe we'll eventually get it right.



I'll be busy for a few days now--see you all (or y'all--after all I'm south of the Mason-Dixon line)-- a bit later.
