   Heh.   
      
   I grew up in the Mohawk Valley.  Until current land use planning laws   
   were passed, I got to watch noob immigrants like the original author   
   get flooded out during the high-water winters.  Despite their   
   assertions that it would be okay.   
      
   Yeah.  Right.   
      
   Take a good hard look at the golf course.  The Mohawk can and will   
   flood up to within a couple of feet of the highway in that area.   
      
   Sounds like some good ol' boy was cackling all the way to the bank   
   when he sold that piece o'property (and, if I think about it, I   
   probably know exactly where Our Boy From Nevada bought).
