I can honestly say that I've never heard plank OR trivet, so I had
no idea what anyone was really talking about until someone mentioned
potholder. I've live in the West US all my life, too... but I guess
there are a lot more differences in the West than in others because
it's still a lot newer, and there is a lot of people from different
places moving here... anyways....
