    there's a movie coming out soon, it's animated, about a guy who takes off into the air with his house. i forget the name of it. anyway, your dream house here reminds me of that since it's already halfway off the ground. imagine if you could just fly in your house back and forth between the united states and cambodia.

    where i grew up, there are a lot of houses like that too. one neighborhood where nearly all the houses are up on stilts has the endearing sobriquet, mud city, due to the amount of dirt washed onto the streets after one of the frequent floodings. (and how about that $10 word: sobriquet?!) (free to you.)

    I could only imagine having a house that fly. I would definitly always feel right at home. Where did you lived, when you were growing up? Is it in the US? I don't get your $10 word, (sobriquet).

    i grew up on the beautiful shores of southern new jersey, among the cranberry bogs of the internationally recognized pine barrens (home of the jersey devil). both our homes, i imagine, have received profiles in the pages of national geographic magazine. if i were to feature a plant from my childhood on my slog, it might just well be a pitcher plant. google that.

    sobriquet is just another word for nickname. i'm fancy like that.

    I copyed this from the google website "Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants whose prey-trapping mechanism features a deep cavity filled with liquid known as a pitfall trap." The pictures are very interesting. I never seen those kind of plant before. I learn something new from you all the time.

    that's nice of you to say. i don't have anything to tell you right now, but... that column on the left side of my slog, everyday, is an experiment to fulfill the adage "you learn something new- everyday."

    some of those things i already knew, they're not new, i just thought they were interesting enough (to me) to catalog.
