: What are you trying to say, Wayne? :-) The land (2 acres) is in Canaveral

: Beach. Something new in the Melbourne area that makes it better than Cocoa?
To get things even more off topic ;-) I used to go down to Cocoa
Beach every year to visit my Grandmother; she lived in a condo there.
My uncle still lives in Cocoa Beach - he has a nice ranch style on
one of the inland waterways. He can jump in his boat docked behind
his house and get to the ocean in 5-10 mins or so. I think Cocoa Beach
is a very nice area. My brother lives in West Palm Beach. Its decent,
but definitely more crowded and not as laid back as Cocoa Beach.
When I was down visiting once, I was lucky enough to see a shuttle
launch at night (from the beach) - lit up the entire area like it was
day - and the noise was something else! Saw another shuttle launch out
the airplane window another time; pretty neat!
So, what happens when you move down to Florida, Ray? Still coming
back to the Nats to beat up on everyone? :-) At this point, you could
probably take up a collection and get the other racers to pay a
sizeable portion of the down payment on your new house! ;-)
