Quote: With its mapping and imaging tools, Google has offered a highly useful window into many corners of the globe, and now it is bringing our humble little home into even sharper focus. The company has just introduced an updated version of Google Earth that taps sharp new imagery from Landsat 8 satellite to give the planet's surface an impressive makeover.

Their current resolution is probably scary enough for Cousin Zeke and his backyard horseweed patch behind the trailer home on rural road E 670b.

It's an excuse for me to play a bit with Google Earth again.

Not for me.

Enough is enough. This is a private company ostensibly engaged in fun, or interest, but is now becoming a little bit frightening.
