Bowery
Who would'a thunk it? The Bowery is a "cultivated" area? In its Dutch origins it doth seem to be. It is generally populated by boors, but that type of cultivator tends to be uncultivated. CF the South African Boer, too.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

Re: Bowery
I believe the Bowery was the farm of Peter Stuyvesant.
Similar words are bower(a sheltered place), Bauer (German for farmer) and Bowers, a family name. Are any of you old enough to remember the movies about the Bowery Boys? I am.

It is dark at night, but the Sun will come up and then we can see.
