The natural impulse with all new sources of information on the web is to first first check yourself and then delve into your past. So I was indeed impressed, when I was able to see our house in Brooklyn so clearly that you can almost identify the make of cars parked in front. I also discovered that the pigeon breeder across the street actually has two aeries on his roof. Next we checked out my wife's family's home in Germany, where she noticed the ominous absence of the neighbor's house, which was built almost ten years ago.
Heading South to my family's place that peek into the geographical past revealed a beautiful summer's day with my mother's large Italian market umbrella throwing some shade over the place, where she used to put up a table for lunch in the summer. Which was a nice look back to happy days in Bavaria, since my mother has passed away five years ago. Does this prove how poperful Google has become? Can they reverse urban sprawl and wake the dead? Or did they just follow Rumsfeld's advice to look at Europe as old?
