Hi Guys,

For a naieve  Californian, and seeing the price, which is almost less than the 
cost of Taxes for some Silicon Valley homes, and a sizeable tower there, which 
probably would cost much more than the asking price for the complete property, 
I am asking, what is wrong with this picture, besides the weather issues?    
And I can only imagine, that;  not having experienced the typical Maine 
Weather.   I wonder what today's weather is there?

Interesting on the ad, how they are not very professional, exact, on lot 
size...somewhere between 2 -5 acres mentioned, must be a category, of 
size....elsewhere 3.2 ac approx.   Also the "Plat" map.... god awful  bizarre 
scale...gross distortion... Why would any kind of professional real estate 
person  print such a map?  No Cartography Classes in school anymore?
What is the Lat Lon?  Google Maps does not have detailed scale maps at that 
location...

http://www.realtor.com/realestate/topsfield-me-04490-1092696524/

I would be interested in chatting more, about that site,  off line, esp anyone 
who has lived in Maine...     Shivering this morning in Northern CA were it is 
a cold morning in the  high 40s...

Used to live in Monterey, and at a December Indy Car test session at Laguna 
Seca, long ago, Bobby Rahal exclaimed:  "Why Laguna Seca?! It's WINTER out 
there!   My home track is under 4 ft of snow!  [Mid Ohio Raceway]  But you guys 
here in Monterey dont know real winter!"  Then after the Laguna Seca Testing he 
went to Pebble Beach to play some golf.   He was in Hawg heaven....

All the best,   73
