the realtor says this land hasn't ever recorded a major flood

adjuster: insurance agent | investigates personal | property damage | makes estimates for effecting settlements
star: big and bright | easier to see on the freeway | deep in the heart of texas
illusionist: one technique is to always be prepared | this is called: to conjure a way out

the realtor says Houston is very much inland from the coast

living: population - 2.3 million | all my cousins | the love of my life | my first dog | burial
settlements: second definition - a place | typically one that has hitherto been uninhabited | where people establish a community.
