1. We might be about 100 feet above sea level.......
I'm not sure though......

Are you thinking about global warming, and the potential rise in sea level?

We do have a nice low range of hills between us and the ocean, as well...

Nice to see you tonight, my dear swag!

3. Hi. Yes, I'm thinking about that again because I attended
a very good lecture by a geologist who studies glacial change.

And Aitch just brought up from the basement a recent topo map that shows the elevation of houses in our neighborhood.

21. The elevation for my municipality is 764 feet
I am not sure which point they are measuring from. We seem to live at one of the higher points in time. From three out of four directions, one must drive or walk up an incline to get to our house.
