So, bear with me if you are so kind.

I saw this link on BartCop (www.bartcop.com) today..."Google Earth"...So fucking cool! The satellite scanning is great, (Maybe, I'll look for some pot plants. No, can't get that close) ...But, I can go right to your house (about 1000' in the air is pretty clear) and then, tilt it, and see your front door...or perhaps someones house in Paris, Hawaii, etc...Only the White House seems to be bleary, (on purpose).

This is too much fun...Shit, I can even see the car outside my parents house...Hmmmm...

I've never been to NY (except for the airports), I live in N CA, so maybe I'll check out Archie Bunker's place, (joking of course) in Queens (The mystical, 704 Houser St.) Or some stadiums. (Museums won't be much fun from the air).

Any suggestions where I should go? Perhaps the houses in Beverly Hills or check out the Grand Canyon, New Zealand?

I'm enjoying some Tequila, right now, so please excuse my over enthusiasm.

Though, I am truly enjoying this!

5. I just did a Google search with the words, "Google Earth"...

It popped right up.

I have a cable modem and the download took about four or five minutes.

It is worth it, to keep in your programs.

ENJOY!
