I just bought my home and hopefully will not be in the market again. Anyway I would not buy a home near power lines. Maybe it's because of all the speculation of EMF and cancer. Other than that I really can't put my finger on it. On another note, that house I just bought is in a small neighborhood, about 40 residents, where everyone has a lagoon in their back yard. I've been talking to the neighbors and found out that at least 9 people in the neighborhood died of cancer in the past 5 years, including previous owners of my house. Maybe it's that Jersey water.......... ****************************************** * MY OPINIONS.............AT&T's NETWORK * * Garry Heon AT&T * * heon@cbnewsg.att.com Holmdel, NJ * ******************************************
