Street View

Google maps street view has updated their photo database and now covers like most all of Queens, especially around where we live. I stumbled on it by accident going to look up directions for Meg to tell the taxi guy when she flys in tomorrow (she has been visiting her family in FL for the last week). So I start with my address and there pops up a picture of the front of my appt. building. Even stranger is you can totally see my car parked there in front of the building.

Cool and at the same time a tad creepy I suppose.

But then the geek in me takes over and I start analyzing the pictures to see if I can tell when they did their drive by so the speak. I can see in the picture of my car that it is missing the license plate still so that puts the range somewhere between June 29-Sept 23rd of 2007. I really can’t narrow it down much more than that at this point other then the half month in July is out when we were on the cruise and I rented a parking space in a driveway for 2 weeks.

With a little more sleuthing I should be able to narrow it down a bit more. I’m sure if I was like the guys on CSI I could take the shadows of the trees and stuff and triangulate the date and exact time the picture was taken but as we all know sadly I am not. Plus if I were I would be much better dressed and driving a Hummer to work everyday.

Like I said before the girl gets home Tomorrow and then we are heading up to CT to Dog sit for my parents and do a few little day trips. Meg has been itching to go to the book barn and Northampton, MA again this tip and we will likely try and see a few movies. *I* want to see the new Batman even though she apparently want to go see it with her family…grrr….if I had know THAT I could of seen it by my self this past weekend. Oh well, she will just have to see it twice now.
