L4N, enjoy the snow and slow and easy. You are used to this, most of us look on in amazement...
I have had a very, very interesting time this morning. I did something I've never done before.
I time traveled.
Yup, no fooling.
Google Maps has just updated the imagery for my place, and now the nut orchard shows up and everything is pretty current.
Done during Jan or Feb or last year, grass is all brown, winter. Starts to green in March so...
Yeah, new maps. So I go on patrol around the property's borders.
I get to the far side and look back at my property's road frontage and yeah, there's even Streetview.
So I stand on the other side and look back, and my heart starts to pound.
This isn't my place, it doesn't look anything like it.
My eyes literally went wide looking at the screen.
But that huge dead tree came down two years ago, and clearly I was looking at something in the past
because where there was now scrub trees that I mow around, and bushhogged in there just a month ago, the pictures shows a large clear area
with heavy grass and no trees. I thought I was in a movie...
I went up and down the road and it never changed.
So hurriedly I printed out the picture and when it printed, aahhh, there it is. There's the answer.
Imagery 2018 Street View 2012 printed on bottom of picture.
How cool, I get to see what it looked like two years before I bought the place.
Whew. The houses were there so at least I knew I shouldn't look around for dinosaurs....
Great fun actually.
I hope the folks in Alaska are ok, tsunami warning. Time to get out the surfboards Californians...warning goes all the way to San Diego
