Sure enough, just by scanning the beaches I found his sailing club, boats on the beach and all! Challange....find cats on a beach FAR from your home. For a starting place try Mission Bay in San Diego. I found LOTS just lying around. Early morning and no wind, I guess. Attached Files 55966-GoogleEarth Netherlands.jpg (73 downloads)

Google Earth led the news that Homeland Security people are worried about the usefulness of Goggle Earth to those who would want to do harm here and abroad. They zeroed in on the White House specifically and you could see the details of the area very clearly. Soooo Google Earth might not exist too much longer.

Since I started watching Google Earth two months ago the photos of my local beach have changed!! They've been replaced by different photos, yet old ones! In September Jennifer Lindsay impressed me by finding that Google Earth had the Goodyear blimp flying over north Clearwater Beach but now IT"S GONE! My local beach has different boats and cars but from several years ago. Who's changing the world and why? It's W, I know it! And how can it be a cloudless morning all over the world at the same time? Could a person lie awake in bed all night asking themselves endless stupid questions until they finally go crazy and die? Hey, Lucy! My head's esploding!

It could be a good thing for world security, If they kept the pictures up to date there are enough people using google earth to find Bin Laden in no time Just give a cash prize it could replace the lottery.
