Some plants have aerial roots (think epiphytes – orchids, Spanish moss, and bromeliads) which are never in the ground.

16. As Bigboote and SVCbeercats noted, I think Vermont was, briefly, independent. If I recall correctly, under British rule, it was part New Hampshire (New Hampshire Grants, maybe?), and part NY, with the dividing line being the crestline of the Green Mountains. This is part of the basis for Ethan Allen's quote "The Gods of the hills are not the Gods of the valley" (one of my faves, by the way). Just to muddy the primordial waters of Vermont further, many of the settlers came from Connecticut, including the Allens.

16..Pinot is pussyfooting around it, but it had a name.

20..You'd think Carnegie, as you did, but no. He was bought out by Schwab, Gary and particularly another(?) who handled the joining of 3 firms to make them into US Steel.

New Connecticut? The forefathers of New England lacked creativity and stuck "New" in front of everything. Such a homesick bunch.

It wasn't JP Morgan?

 

[wire chief]

20..Sorry Game, I overlooked your response. I categorically deny any prejudice against rooster rooters

 

[wire chief]

14..Alex always has trouble getting a final answer out o VAUC, but he is right about ACLU.

16..Yes, SVC, this is a case of how the "New" is known to scare most posters, stuck in their ways as they are.

15..Rocket & K9 & Big enjoy coffee and Danish.
