No, and it didn't occur to me that they might be Easterners, but
I'm taking advantage of this post to mention that "fog" can
mean "1. A new growth of grass appearing on a field that has been mowed or
grazed. 2. Tall, decaying grass left standing after the cutting or grazing
season." (American Heritage Dictionary,
<http://www.bartleby.com/61/13/F0221300.html>.  I wonder whether
that's connected with Grassfog's name.

More word trivia: mowing the fog (sense 1) for hay is the original
meaning of "aftermath".

Jerry Friedman apologizes if someone has mentioned this already.
