Much better view! Mine says it was taken 3/29/04 but it looks like my Mercedes in the driveway and not my Volvo - and I got the Mercedes on July 2004. It IS after our roof was re-done. It's so bright and white!

Well, that site has us living in the rental office. Cool, lots of room in there. It was taken on a Monday, so the parking lot is eeeeempty. Of course, I was unemployed at the time, so my car's probably sitting under the carport.

Again, Interesting. Terraserver has the exact same blockage around DC as google maps.

It kind of makes me want to go scanning around the map to see if I can find other "protected" map sections.

It's also interesting that the supreme court and library of congress are not covered up. Just the capitol and house/senate office buildings. I guess judges are not as important as senators.

Not quite, you got yours at the end of may, just after my car burst into flames. But that's still after 3/29.

Heh, try the "Rachel, NV" trick on that one...the world apparantly ends just west of Rachel, Nevada.

Here is another one.

It's a bit more subtile, but also easier (I think)
