Google Earth

I discovered Google Earth today.

. . . w o w . . .

I’m really kinda speechless about it.

For instance, I live at precisely 47°31′53.37″ N 122°21′15.80 W elev 367 ft. and I can almost see the shadow of the dog in the back yard…

After locating my house I quickly, within 5 minutes, found my work, girlfriend, and mother’s house and marked them with a thumbtack icon so i can find them from outer space.

Now to plan my next vacation :)

PS - Dad, you *have* to check this out!

We had some very basic capabilities along these lines,but it was SLOW,it was CLUNKY and it BROKE alot.Oh well,Time and Technology mach on (Hows that a Freudian slip?).Love,yr Dad
