Google street view
« on: August 13, 2012, 12:39:56 PM »
Had an interesting experience this morning and then deja vu about 10 minutes ago. When I was leaving to do some running around and pick up supplies. Google street view's car went by as I was at the stop sign on the corner. It is a short street so it went back the other way. A couple of hours latter I get back and it goes down the dead end side street that I live on the corner of. So I will be in the two views of my house. I have no idea on how long it will take till the post the views. But it was sort of strange. I have seen the cars around before!

I hope that you put on your best smile and waved for the camera. Remember, the rest of the world is watching.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Street View blurs faces out, Ralph. At least, they seem to do so here in the UK, along with car number plates (license plates).

So the world will never know how handsome you really are  :)

I've cut the end off it twice, but it's still too short

Neighbor gave them the one finger salute!
I just thought that with a deja vu of twice in a couple hours at basically the same spot going in all 4 directions that it is an omen of impending DOOM like the Mayan end of the world stuff and et all!  :jaw:  :bugeye:  :clap:

Why are the wheels on the blue car blurred out, and how did you manage to balance those two round objects on its roof?  :lol:
Cheers!
