Just one comment on the pics.
If you have a paint/photo program, blur out the street names in your
first picture.
It only took me a couple of minutes, sitting at my computer, to locate
your house location.
You can't be too careful with personal information that is posted for
all to see.

Before internet mapping, a call to 411 would yield the same results.
A call to the local county clerk would tell you a bunch more.

But the only people who had your name were people you dealt with
personally and businesses with which you had a relationship. Now with
the Internet if you use your real name online every loon on Earth sees
