I Should Have Waved

Just noticed Google Maps has been busy in a half dozen cities, going the extra mile literally. They've been driving down streets taking photos, not from satellites but apparently from atop cars or Google-mobiles or Google-Segway's or whatever Googlees drive.


Welcome to my house:



I think they must have airbrushed all the leaves off the lawn...


This is the video explaining the feature. Remember when you see this guy that he probably has been holding onto Google stock options for years and can buy you, your house, your parent's house, your city....

The view on my street shows our house with last August's dead lawn, and the mother & daughter from two doors down talking on the sidewalk.

If it makes you feel any better, my sister's neighborhood in Rhode Island was photographed on garbage day, so there are trash barrels and recycling bins up & down the street. They're all empty, but the discarded furniture and rolls of old carpeting by the curb show that the heavy trash pickup hadn't come by yet.
