The place where you mention almost buying a house, are you talking
about Manomet Point? My brother lived there in a house on the bluffs
next to where the lobster pound is during the Blizzard O' 78. There
was quite a bit of erosion and he said he could feel the ground shake
when chunks of the cliffs let go. The next day the he went outside to
find the edge of the cliff a lot closer to the street in front of the
house than it was the day before. The house is still there today
though.

I did not know about the flight sim feature even though I play with
Goggle Earth at least a few times a week . Thanks for mentioning it.

I think that I need to work on my piloting skills though. I was going
to try to find Otis AFB and land there but instead my plane is now
scattered on a golf course somwhere near Buttermilk Bay.

---------------------------------

The place we looked at was a little further south from Manomet, off of exit
2 of Rt.3.
I had dreams of a mooring with our boat sitting out there, but it wasn't
meant to be.

The FS is pretty good, but it helps to have some basic knowledge of flying
an airplane.

I've got Microsoft Flight Simulater X. It's a really fun program,
especially if you have enough computing power to run everything in
full scenery mode.
