Perk a booo...Goggle Earth….. 5/22

There you are... did you know I am watching you? No, it's not Big Brother but an an online program! It takes half an half hour to down load Goggle Earth but you can see places on the earth up close from a camera in the sky. From deserts to mountain tops you can zoom in and see details, even the brats burning on our grill out on our front deck . This is stuff Ian Flemming could have gotten his teeth into.


What’s your interest on mother Earth? Race tracks? Golf Courses? The croplands of South American? It’s all there in living color. You can even track highways for trip planning. Ity makes our Earth really comes into perspective. Just click on and zoom in. It should also remind us all that Earth is an important gift and should be treated as such.

The other day I was zooming in to see what I thought were the Black Hills in South Dakota. I was off by several states. I was in central Tennessee, Dolly Parton’s backyard and somebody was sun bathing. Well, Pardon me Dolly.

"Perka Boo"? English as a second language deal, eh?

You got lost on Google Earth thinking Tennessee was South Dakota? Was it Dolly's um, hills (?) that confused you? This is a good example of why there was a demise of "Coleman Deals" since the "Adventure Guide" is frequently lost even in his own neck of the woods.

Perka Boo.........geez!

FYI - GoogleEarth can be neat, especially the ruins in Athens, but beware it can severely slow down your computer. It is a huge program. I had to trash it on my work computer that is networked and fast with all the bells and whistles because it slowed me down and also because my house wasn't visible. We all know that we want to always work hard and never be slowed down on the job. Til next blog, got to get back to Freecell.......

Rory? Are you talking about Rory Calhoun? Great 50's western star but my personal favorite role for Rory was "Motel Hell" from the 70's where he played a motel operator named Farmer Vincent that would turn unfortunate guests into food items. They said "It takes a lot of critters to make a Farmer Vincent Fritter". Okay, I digress but I'm sure you could see Rory Calhoun's grave on Google Earth if you had the appropriate latitude and longitude.....
