well don't tell those folks moving to florida about "the valley" in texas. -----Original Message----- From: Cleveland, Kyle E.

During the last drought the limestone shifted under the lake and a sinkhole developed. The lake ran dry virtually overnight. Hate to think what that did to their property value! I know my parents retired there, and they are very happy, but I think all of the folks retiring to Florida are out-stripping the capabilities of the natural resources. -Kyle -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth H.
