Google's high-res images
seem to be reserved for larger metros. I wanted to get a high-res of
Columbia, Mo., but when I tried to zoom all the way in, I got the same message.
Maybe they'll expand over time.

I was astounded, hugely dis- appointed, stunned, and actually puzzled over it for 90 seconds or so. I would suppose if satellite photos are not available for that day, Google would rerun yesterday's. Or something like that. Remember the Terramax (or something) site that was based on USSR high-res photos? I suppose it's still there. Naturally, I had to see if our house was visible, and it was. I felt so important. Didn't show our garage, though, which leads me to think that KGB was slouching. If the USSR wanted to be secure, it would had to have photographed our garage. Who knows? We could have secretly built an ICBM out of Heathkit stuff in there. Or an ICBM bunker which secretly housed a moonshine still. If there were a marijuana-growing facility in there, Grifton Police Department would have like to know. If this were Berkeley, the marijuana facility would have been OK, but the missile wouldn't. 73 from The Main Lines, Cholly Dennis Gibson wrote:
