Those people who are residing in Texas and need to buy a house, there are many grants available to them. These families must need the money to buy a home. These housing grants are offered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.

I came across a posting on Slashdot about a new mapping application from Google called GoogleEarth. At first my thinking was that this was just another extension of the already cool Google Maps online. But then I discovered that it was a downloadable client application. Humm. So I took the plunge.
