It was in the Daily Sun (the next day, as I recall) on page D4, next to the obit and villager pictures, along with other crime/public safety short stories.

Yeah, south of 44 is swampier than north and the comment was in relation to a large, claimed to be healthy per other statements, tree that just fell over for no reason and killed someone. I'm not pushing it, it's a fact and I offered that as a reason for the fall because of water/soil conditions the tree may have been vulnerable. PER AI: Based on the information available, there are a greater number of surface water features (specifically shallow ponds) located south of CR 44 compared to the north, although the ponds north of CR 44 are generally deeper. It's just a fact of nature and it hasn't stopped construction or the sale of homes and most the people living there are just fine with the terrain. If I say there are a lot of wet, watery spots south of 44 does that make it better? I'd rather live next to a swamp than a retention pond but to each their own. I would make paragraphs but the site has a popup that goes in the middle of a post if I do so.
