Hey Ray....Raymond! You ever check out the maps on Live.com? I get a kick out of tooling around with this thing. Today I found an aerial view of Mayfield Place. Great opportunity to spy on the neighbors, look into thier backyard, etc...

Sorry I can't get the exact URL copied over but if you just scroll a bit to the right and upward you'll eventually hit on it. You can click on the compass in the left hand corner to rotate the viewpoint. Notice how the different angles were not photographed at the same time..

Excellent job. Do you remember in the backyard scenes at Ray's house the trees behind his yard weren't very tall. They look really big now, but it has been almost 20 years (next year - that is hard to believe)
 
Good work. This is a cool tool to use to plan a burglary and organise an escape route...

LOL...just think that if Ray & Art had this tool to use instead of relying on ol' rooftop Rummy then things probably would have gone a lot smoother for them!
 
And Art's fillings wouldn't have been hot....

Here's the view of my cul de sac.

We have a big wood nearby. It's size tends to overwhelm people.
 
That's a cool looking 'hood you got. I like to set the map at about a mile out and then keep zooming in on your street while playing the opening theme to the 'Burbs until I'm almost at street level. :p
 
Hahaha me too...with the CD theme tune playing the intro hahahahaha....
 
That's a nice looking place. Looks like a lot of wildlife habitat around which is always great. Is there some new construction where Walter's house would be? My yard is pretty barren right now. I want it to look something like yours in a few years.
 
We got about 6 resident squirrels (grey - non-foaming) a few foxes....loads of magpies....blue tits...dozens of birds (some too big for the birdfeeder)

A few years ago I spotted a rat in winter down the bottom of the garden looking for the birds tidbits. That's why I bought a gun, I'm gunna pop it to 'em.

It's a relaxing backyard...BBQs etc. The thing is this pic was taken a couple of years back. Ive built decking since then.

*Turns to wife* We love it here....don't we...?


...............YES!
