I'm a complete Google Earth freak. I like to go back to places where I've been on holiday and walk past the same shops and parks and beaches - it's like having another vacation without the cost and the travel. It's so sophisticated now that you can look through people's windows and into their gardens, you can even get inside some shops.
Mostly recently however, I've used it to view possible new properties, look around the area, measure distances, even see what the neighbours look like and what car they drive etc. I'm still in the process of moving into my new place right now, but when I got here I felt like I already knew it.

I did. With one place.
It was a little old farmhouse, originally a nineteenth century schoolhouse,
in a rural town where cows outnumber humans 4 to 1,
called Ellenburg NY.
It was on Smith Road, 1231 Smith Road to be precise.
I actually have records out here, that were recorded
while I was there, "Unknown Me" is one of them, that one
was even featured. It isn't much to look at on Google Maps or Earth
or whatever the heck it was.... just a square in the middle of many cornfields.
a square which is the aerial view, of the little shit-shack in Ellenburg,
a tiny town so far upstate NY it's basically next door to Canada.
Yes, it is a strange trip, indeed.
Only could see it from above.
No street view for that rural an area.
