I was looking at my town. And I found things that are not supposed to be there...

LOL. The one the local newspaper company puts out is much more reliable.

A friend showed me once directions it listed to travel from New York City to London, England. Among instructions such as turn left here for 1 mile, turn right here after 3 miles, it included an instruction to swim thousands of miles across the ocean and upon arriving in England, turn left for a few miles and turn right for so-many miles to reach the destination. It was insane.

Hey Jes perhaps you should try it, it's cheaper than flying but a bit more tiring!! :laugh5:

How long do you think you'll be I'll put the kettle on for tea!! :teeth1:

Yeah Jes. Swim across Lake Michigan first--consider it a practice run.

That satellite takes pictures every 15 years, so it was bound to be taken a while back.

But yeah, I dig google earth. I like to type in my old town (in CA) and just reminisce.

Practice run? I don't think I could run very far without sinking.
