Okay no, this isn't a new scam..LOL I had done a discussion about how our privacy may be in jeopardy with a Google search of our phone numbers, and if your phone number is listed, it will not only show whose phone number it belongs to, but can provide maps of where one is located...thought it creepy as hell. But one of the responders mentioned about Google Earth...I never heard of it before....so being the nosy-body that I am, I checked it out...for the past hour I've been having a blast. One can download Google Earth...and you can either take a trip to the stars--or.."fly" to some city, or country--say you type in Cairo, Egypt..well, it flies you there, and you can zoom into spots up close..or how about Stonehenge, England, or Paris, France...hey there is no limit to it..So hey, maybe this is another great visualization tool for those like me who someday want to do a lot of traveling--and yes, you can even find out an aerial view of where you live--okay that might be creepy too, but I just couldn't resist So if you dream of going to some place and travel but don't have the money..heck this is almost the next best thing Have fun

I have looked at my house, and it's from a shot that predates summer of 2005 since we've made a change to the house since then. The pix are taken in the winter because the leaves are off most of the trees. I've got it on my iPhone too.

Hey pw, That does sound neat I'm gonna have to check it out b/c I've traveled across the USA in my lifetime & seeing what I have I said I'll never go any higher north than NC again but I hear Vermont is beautiful & I'd love to see it- just weary about going back north again. +'s |:)

What you have discovered is real fun. I hope i could visit the site also and the countries there someday. ido wanna travel the whole world. But for now, I still need to save that big amount of money to do so. I will work hard and save diligently so my dream of touring around the world will come true.
