> and palmetto bushes and of course other trees too
SA: I lived in South Carolina for about 6 years and I
remember the palmetto trees, don't know if these are
the same as palmetto bushes.
Margaret:

farther

spanish moss

SA: AAAA, yes, spanish moss. I remember this in
S.C., too. When I first moved to S.C. when I was 8 or
9, some peers of mine said spanish moss was from all
the pollution getting stuck in the trees. I believed
them for who knows how long, over a year or more, but
I was young and never thought it to be important so it
wasn't like I talked or thought about it being
pollution. At that age, you hear events, but it
doesn't mean much to ya - unless it was about baseball
or what was found while exploring in the woods, for
me, at that age.

SA: Osprey live around here, too (western PA in the
far eastern region of the foothills of the Appalachain
Mts., I mean far eastern due to the earth flattens in
spots right around here, but still more hills than
flat.)

SA: Did or can they go into the freshwater river? I
remember seeing porpoises go upriver, but stay close
to the mouth of the river, while in S.C.

SA: Is the water brown where your at?
