I down loaded the freebee version and this thing is something else, the cat's meow, or what-ever.  j45

I spent the better part of 3 hrs on this thing finding different locations that I have visited at or live at.

Here is a Google Image of my farm. This was taken August 25th 2007.

   That's people who can walk, chew gum, and think, all at the same time.

   And also, the little numbers at the bottom of the picture, if you click on the center of the property.  In case some of you have not noticed, you can then use the scroll arrows to move around the pictures.  If you have the Number Lock on, you can also use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out, without changing the center of the picture.

Had thought about it, but work takes up too much of the day.
Not great up there. The air looks a redish brown from all the oil sand projects "cooking" the tar. Stinks real bad, mostly at night when they crank up the process.
Makes breathing difficult.
One would think there are few people up there......each day the traffic is the worst I've ever had to drive in ! Bumper to bumper each shift change, and very congested between shift changes.
Many, many, bad drivers. No surprise people die each day on the roads up there. Roads are good, drivers are not.
Pay is good...just the same, I've been trying to find other work, not up there !
