Thanks MelissaYup, Google Earth + Street View = Days of my life slowly disappearing…I've always loved looking at maps, even when I was a kid. I'd spend hours just going through atlases and street maps just to see where everywhere went. And, although I wouldn't recommend it, I mastered the art of reading street maps while driving before the days of GPS navigation. Damn I'm sounding old… “You youngsters don't know how good you've got it. Back in the day, when I was a boy……”

Thanks Marion,
It's good to know that the toothpaste didn't kill the last remaining Golden Beach, three eyed, grass mollusk. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself.
I need to practice taking shots of the night sky, I've never been able to get one I was happy with. The exposures are always so long that the stars are blurred. Sometimes this is a good effect but never captures the true wonder of the clear, night sky.

Well, as far as I know toothpaste is not harmful at all for the environment. It would have been lovely had you photos of hat incredible sky, as I am very curious now. But I have had my fair share of incredible skies too, thank god!! I know the feeling of infinity it brings along when being sunk in that view.

I couldn't help but smile when you told you watch Stargate in the cocoon of a car, in total darkness and with all kind of sounds gong on outside. I would be mortified!!

Nice one again James!! Can't wait for the next episode!!
Cheers, Marion

James, you tell stories with vigor and humor. I can imagine you standing there worrying about your toothpaste as the rain comes down - would have been no problem for me. And your disclaimer to Apple - awesome. Priceless even.

I would like to add, that I too am a Google Earth addict. I'm even worse with Street View. But these tools are invaluable in planning, and are far more useful then a paper map that takes up space, and you can't read a map while you drive anyway. At least with Google's tools you have an idea of what you're looking at when you get there.

Can't wait to see what you write next!
