Fun with Google Earth and Live Search Maps

Google Earth is cool, but there is a new thing called Live Search, it's MSN's version of Google Earth. Seems to be updated more often, plus its got a cool feature called "Bird's Eye-view."
Google Earth combines satellite and aircraft photos, however I'm not sure if the Bird's eye-view stuff is from a plane or a satellite.
So I started looking for cool things around town...

My work...


Looks like that photo was taken on a weekend, that's why there are no cars in the lot. My office is toward the bottom right next to the smaller tree.

Next is our house... top right of the center block of houses.


Here's another angle...




Here's a pic of my parent's house... (Pretty much dead center of the pic) you can see my dad's truck in the driveway and the trash can on the curb... so we know it was a Friday. Plus there are no leaves on the trees, so it was in fall/winter and it still has the old roof... kinda narrows it down a bit more.




And finally my In-law's beautiful home... second on the right of the cul-de-sac.





Pretty cool... I just wish they had exact dates on the pics so I could see where I was... you never know, you could one day be able to see yourself, or at least your car.

Hey, good for you on the Lean Cuisine - and that is the new roof...the other one was tin and the house one was red. Dad said so.
It wasn't Jenny's Mother & sister- Laurie's - Robert's wife on the OTHER side of us.
