I've often wondered why some posters have their name and avatar, there must be a reason for both.
I'll start with mine . . . aside from TD I have really only posted in one other forum (with short sojourns in a few others) in Singapore, about 15+ years ago and the sitemaster there was a friend of mine.
So, as a hobby I was already into plantations then, first rubber followed by oil palms and then coconut and now durian.
I grew up in several countries due to my father's job and a few were in Asia, Africa and South America . . . combine that with movies about plantation owners life (no, not north American ones with slaves) and it was a life to be led. In theory, anyway.
So, the sitemaster created the panama hat, (figuratively lying in a hammock) smoking a cigar . . .
with a glass of wine in my hands . . . (I don't smoke nor wear hats)
The smoke-words are an extra.
Anyone else?
