I am glad some other people like this, too. It takes me to places without overstepping the boundaries of propriety. It shows me enough, but not too much.
Jim, I share your interest in Google Earth, but I have mixed feelings about Street View. For a long time my little cul-de-sac has been accessible in that medium, but it has recently been updated, presumably with better cameras, and now Google peers into my living room window. I find this a bit unsettling, to say the least. But then, things (as you say) coalesce, and my own "Boat" poem more or less forgives them. Like Martin Luther, they could do no other.
