Street Views?

I've never saw Google out and about either. But they sure have a nice "street view" shot of my property.

Google will not open your gate and shoot down your driveway. But I'd be surprised if they don't have a shot of your gate from the public road. Might want to check that out for entertainment purposes.

I've seen them all over here in town, but they don't make it out to our ranch, much. When buying I wanted to look at it, but our community is gated so they never went inside.

But, this thread made me realize there is a couple hundred feet of highway from which you can see our place from 1/4 to 1/2 mile away. Went and looked, and it's there. Picture from 2007 (long before we owned it).

I think by now it would be hard to find an improved public road that Google hasn't video'd. Pretty amazing when you think about it.

I took this picture of the picture takers heading up the highway. (See how they like it). Quite impressive to see actually. Has anyone seen the various abnomallys (sp?) of some of the terrain mapping when things get messed up?

census workers from bothering us.

I hate that pesky census as well.

I had a census worker show up a few months ago at my old place and when he asked me what race I was I said I was hispanic even though I'm white.

Then he asked me whether I was female or male. "He said it matters you know? Today it's hard to tell" xd

I started rubbing my legs and reaching for my zipper and told him to come on in and I'll get undressed for you so you can tell for yourself if I'm male or female. lol

He got uncomfortable and said no thanks I gotta go now.

He got in his car and sped off.

I just burned my census stuff. Then they sent a really cute young blonde around to collect my data. So much for getting punished! Answered the door in my underware, and can't remember if I got dressed for the interview. Unfortunately, she was married!

What am I missing on this one?

I was harassed by a census taker for months to fill out a 32 page questionnaire. He either stopped by or called 3 to 4 times per week. I refused to do it an then the supervisor tries to tell me I have to. After a abrupt lesson in the constitution the supervisor apologized. Then sent a different census taker to my house who told me he would keep coming until I answered his 32 page questionnaire and as long as I refused he had a job. So I wished him a happy retirement. The constant harassment continued for three more months until I moved to my new home.

Now back to the original post. Since we are private community and own the streets Google should not be driving in here and photographing. The latest street view shows my neighbor unloading her groceries from her car inside her garage. Nice view for a criminal to see a small frame woman with lots of expensive lawn equipment in the garage.

Also, I am sure criminals appreciate the help in scoping out the area for escape routes and what is available.
