I am amazed at the detail available here.

You can zoom in on my farm and see the apple bins set out for picking
that day. You can also see I was still rebuilding the dump bed on my
one ton truck sitting in the driveway.

I wonder how may bytes of data they have to photo the whole USofA to
that detail.

Amazing and frightening, and not confined to the US.

This is me eating lunch by the side of the road in New Brunswick while
my buddy communes with nature.

It took me about a minute to find the front door of a place my aunt
owns on a side street in Puerto Vallarta.

I looked up my front street (set back property) - and it was done in May
of 2013. A lot has happened since then.

Not me. But it reminds me of the time Thorax towed the shuttle
from the mothership after Elvis shifted paradigms without a clutch
trying to sneak past the temporal vortex again.
Getting the frame of reference straight after that can be brutal.

"[F]ar from being the Great Satan, I would say that we
are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women
from the armed forces of the United States to other parts
of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression.
We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism.
We saved Europe in World War I and World War II.
We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to
Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of
preserving the rights of people.

And when all those conflicts were over, what did we
do? Did we stay and conquer? Did we say, "Okay, we
defeated Germany. Now Germany belongs to us? We defeated Japan,
so Japan belongs to us"? No. What did we do?
We built them up. We gave them democratic systems which
they have embraced totally to their soul.
And did we ask for any land? No.

The only land we ever asked for was
enough land to bury our dead."

General Colin Powell

We had the same problem back in 1943 when we conducted the
Philadelphia Experiment on the USS Eldridge. Half of the crew
just vanished into thin air.


Best Regards

You're just damned lucky it was thin air that day. Had it been a
thick air day, things would have turned out -totally- different.

Back then there wasn't any anthropogenic global warming and
the air was much thinner due to a lack of CO2.

The other half vanished into the thick air.

They will eventually return in Beijing when the air there gets
thick enough.

They were lucky not to vanish into "Night and Fog", as did so many in
the German version.
