I still remember how cool I thought it was back in the day when I discovered my neighbors had a hot tub this way.

You had access to satellite images back in the day?

TerraServer was up in '98.

This reminds me of the "free wi-fi APs" debate. I think I might put up a satellite-readable sign (perhaps mown into my lawn) saying "pool open to public Tues-Fri 3-8PM" or something like that.

This reminds me, after I put my pond in my first purchase should be a paintball gun. I stay up really late too.

The question is where are the real time satellite images to see if they are empty for skating in?

sorry, accidental downvote, meant the opposite :-(

[mootpoint → Tichy]

Let's all upmod the GP to compensate!

Now when anyone tries to tell me the mounted gun turrets I have along my 20' wall are unnecessary I'll just point 'em at this article.
