Thanks! It's important that I know that you know it's a few days old, even though the rest of us and myself had not yet seen it. I can sleep easily tonight, thanks to you.
This is great news. Does this mean Google will take higher resolution pictures of my house? I guess it's because I live in the middle of nowhere, but my house looks like a fuzzy dot rather than a recognizable structure.

Aerial imaging is easily fooled with a painted canvas over the actual building as illustrated in WW2:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/odd_stuff/How_to_hide_an_airplane_factory_PICS">http://digg.com/odd_stuff/How_to_hide_an_airplane_ ...</a>

I wish they had that color better resolutions for years past. Imagine being able to see your old home or your parents old home from 1980 or 1960.
