I was fooling around with Google Earth and found that I could go to a specific house  and then drop down and look at the front of it.
First I stopped by 2004 Harold street in Stamford , Ontario , the house we lived in from 1952 to 1858. Then I hopped over to Montreal and visited the apartment building in Outremont, Quebec, that my Grand mother lived in , circa 1964 , when I last visited her.
Next I went to NDG  (Notre Dame de Gras) where my mother lived in the 1930's and 40's and went to my Aunt and Uncles apartment building , too.

I jumped over the pond and went to Macclesfield  Cheshire , UK . and looked around , Not knowing the street name or address my mom lived in, before the family immigrated to Canada.
A trip to Prague was in order to see where my wife's grandparents came from. Next  a side trip to Moscow , just for the heck of it.

Lastly, I went to Tigers street and had a look at the front of his home. Very nice!
Next , I will be going to visit H20 lawyer and Yellow Jackets  home . If any one cares to PM me their address , I'd love to stop by. Your address will be kept confidential. if anyone wants to see our humble abode , PM me and I'll send you my address.

Just went by Yellow jackets lovely home , as well as H2)'s home in CO. He has a LARGE garage , but he wants more!

Then I jumped across the Pacific , to New Zealand  and visited Roro's. Beautiful home surrounded by trees and even some palm trees. It was trash pickup day in Oct. 08 and the shiny , immaculate , red and yellow trash truck was making a pick up a few doors down the street. The Ocean is visible in the distance . Thanks for the address Roro!

There are a lot of "Easter eggs" in google maps. You can get driving directions to China that include using a kayak, plus there are lots of bloopers that show car wrecks and even one where the google truck obviously has hit a deer. It's lots of fun.

You should have knocked on the door with the cursor and come in for a beer or three my old friend :o ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D... ;)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!
