A donor of mine (hi, Jim!) alerted me to Google’s new map function. It’s not that different from Mapquest, except that you can also get satellite pictures (in color!) of anywhere in North America or the UK, and pretty detailed ones, at that. The picture of my little cul-de-sac in Northern Virginia isn’t so detailed that I can read license plates, but I can clearly see my neighbors car. I also checked the pictures of Cuba, but didn’t find any missiles.
