see your house from space--its free

Interesting.

Another neat tool along these lines is the USGS's (now Microsoft's evidently) TerraServer. It will give you closer views of some things, as the pictures are compiled from (mostly) aerial photographs. Some of the photographs are rather dated but hey...it's free.

I always get a kick out of these things. And now, it's time to violate my privacy.

From Google Earth: an overview of Silverdale, with all of the relevant landmarks designated with yellow arrows. (Although the Camp is said to be in Chico or Seabeck - neither of which are towns anymore - it's technically in Bremerton, but is much closer to Silverdale.) The garbled red lettering at the north end of Dyes Inlet says, "Silverdale". Note that the Silverdale Dot is located in "Old Town" Silverdale where the town was originally founded; I'd like to think that Google did this as a tip of the hat to the locals but I suspect that they put the dot down there so as to avoid obscuring the Kitsap Mall, Silverdale's actual purpose for existance currently. (The big white blob half a mile or so north of Old Town.)

From Terraserver: a closeup of Satori's house. The pic is close to thirty years old and doesn't accurately depict the Blackberry Invasion nor my car. We'll let that slide for now as it's a free service.

From Terraserver: a shot of the south end of the Camp. Date unknown but it looks pretty much the same way today.

1 - Range House
2 - Classroom and Cleaning Room
3 - Admin Building
4 - Wood Shop and assorted smaller buildings
5 - Road to "A" (indoor 25 yard) and "C" (outdoor 25 yard) ranges
6 - "B" (outdoor 25 yard) range
7 - Outdoor 600 yard range (you're only seeing about 300 yards of it)

The Pond is visible at the north end of the picture. It's the dark spot in the central strip of woods.

Enjoy the shot of the Camp. By this time next year it will most likely be a development, and that view of Silverdale will have a bit less green and a bit more gray.

this could be a part of the Alien's conspiracy to identify where each of the Cantinistas live or work. Perhaps someway to over-come the aluminum hats' protections?

How handy it would be for them to have us just type in our specific locations so that they could swoop down and take us out, one-by-one, or take us up for experimentation...eh?

You didn't get these sites from Josh by any chance, did you?

This smacks of the same Alien deviousness (?deviosity?) as the introduction of yellow rasberries...so innocent in appearance...then BLAM!

when you use the street name feature you can get a better map because it is all photo, so for directions to a place you have not been say from an airport to a hotel this program is great.
 
The military version is real time, and clear under 100 feet…except it doesn’t appear to work on 6’5” Arabs

It might work if you had his address. (Open wide and say "Ahhhhhhhhh." :D )
 
The alie...err, my new friends said that we should all remove our tin foil hats to better enjoy the summer weather.

The voices you will hear are your own happy thoughts and are most assuredly not being broadcasted by the mother ship. It goes without saying that since they're your own happy thoughts you should obey them without question.
 
Holy $hit! I had a happy moment today... Didn't give it a bit of thought until now.... What have I done?
I'm puttin' on the aluminum foil socks. Thanks for the heads up, guys. :cool:
 
How long does the monster take to load. I started it and it would never give a time. It just kept loading ... loading ... loading. Forever. I finally killed it because I was afraid it would fill up my disk.
