I've had an idea.
Let's all set up bookmarks on Google Earth of places 'about' ourselves, and share them.

Here is my contribution (right click - save, then double click to open in GE).

To do this - right click in 'My Places' to create a new folder, and name it with your IAmCal handle.
Then find the places that are interesting to you, click on the drawing pin, drag it into the right place, and then change the details in the boxes on the left.
If you've got not hosting, email it to me and I'll host it for you: grim at hsmx dawt com.

Anyone that wants to use Google Earth

b/ "handle"?!?!?!?!?!

I've always called it a handle, and I'm not alone. I have never, however, owned a CB.

Uh breaker one nine, this here's the Rubber Duck. You got a copy on me Pig Pen c'mon? Uh, yeah, ten four, Pig Pen, for sure, for sure. By golly, it's clean clear to Flagtown. C'mon. Yeah, that's a big ten four there, Pig Pen. Yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy. Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy.
