I learned the following from my email responses: “A swamp is a place where the plants that make up the area covered in water are primarily woody plants or trees. Woody plants would be mangroves or cypress trees. A marsh, on the other hand, is defined as having no woody plants. The non-woody plants would be saltmarsh grasses, reeds or sedges. Also, marshes are typically not as deep as swamps.”
Very interesting. Not sure whether Washington was woody or non-woody in the late 18th century. Thanks.
Huge amounts of email responding to the reappearance of Carl Buckman’s family. Hamilton and Mom really are fan favorites. Just a reminder, my own family is nowhere near as fucked up as Carl’s! I took some people I know, took their personality traits, and pushed them up a notch or two. In real life, my mom and brother and sister all still live in the Baltimore area, and my eldest daughter spent two weeks with them at the time I posted this on SOL. The only complaint I get is that I don’t call home enough.
