If I put in my address into google and then clicks Maps and satellite view (earth view), I can see my mustang and my wife's Pacifica - it is usually several months old, but it does update....

So, its shaped as Saudi Arabia - I am a history major... not a geography major - and besides as an ad - any idiot could pick what they wanted, I figured your words is what you meant.. sometimes we take it literal what people SAY.
ooops, guess this got undeleted.... |

That's OK! I forgot to post where I saw this ad -
http://www.localconditions.com/ It's supposed to be a site that shows local traffic flow, but it's not as good as the Inrix-engined sites. I just thought it was funny that my local traffic had an ad for traffic directions showing a Persian Gulf picture... ...Like I'm going to drive from Buffalo to Riyadh...

House photos
About two years ago...I was working in garage....car pulled up...it was County Tax Assessor.....nice lady.....we got to talking and I asked her what could I do to help her.....she said...."I want to take a look at your new patio out back.".......I asked her how she knew and she said....."Oh...by the satellite photo...and also you have a red metal roof and that really stood out ."........we had a nice chat....I gave her a cold bottle of water....and really laid the BS on heavy....she told me about some people would try to run her off.....yell at her...etc..etc.......I told her that would be a no-brainer for me if I was her.......their property value just went up $50.000 and she just laughed........smiled at me and said she didn't see anything to worry about.........sigh........

Hans,
I had a similar experience with our County assessor. I was nice and polite, but my property taxes still went up.....and also my rate for Rural Metro Fire Dept. The satellite photos tell these folks exactly what is what. |

Google street view pictures show my old Mercedes S-Class in front of the house. Thought that was funny. The car only comes out once or twice a year.

I passed up 65 a long time ago, and I am not certain what I had for breakfast.

The outside of the house can be deceiving. To really be fair in assessment, the inside of the house also has to be examined.
