Re: Google earth

Thats a pretty fun program to mess around with. Although it doesnt really clearly show my driveway well enough to where i could point out my truck. But im pretty sure the black mass in front of the house would be it.

Re: Google earth

it's cool when you turn on the 3-D buildings and you tilt it so you can actually get a sense of what the city may be like.

i also like the webcam feature.

pretty nifty

That's not the worst of it either.

The really bad news is that his friend is a lingerie salesman
