Lots of rain this morning so not much was going on. How many of you have the inane curiosity to Google a city or town on Google maps and navigate down a few streets ? I find it quite interesting. For example I Googled Chicago Il. Its a place I've never been near before. I landed on an old neighborhood with all red brick buildings that must have been a street frequented by Al Capone. My part of the world has mostly wood frame houses covered by wood,stucco, plastic, or aluminum. I've also discovered my Grandfather's village in central Sweden. My dad's childhood house in Saskatoon is still there on the same shabby street. It may not be the same as globetrotting, but I've probably saved thousands in the past few weeks by flying 'Google'.
