Google Maps

[Jun aka Pekto]

I haven't used Google Maps in a while. But, I like the new features. It's got a street view of our house.

It must be Tuesday. The trash cans are out. And that old Ford clunker's parked where it's always parked. He He.

It's not US-only. Here's Haneda Airport with the Haneda Excel Inn. I stayed there often whenever I visit Japan.

My favorite stretch of highway, Highway 50:

Hey cool. It also has Fallon NV mapped out as well.

It's got Sapporo, Japan too. I liked northern Japan way better than the Tokyo area.

If there's one place I love the most in California, it's Santa Barbara (La Jolla would be the second).

That's up in the hills where it's dry. Too dry with dead brush. The beach area (like here) should be fine. When they mention fires, it's normally in the more remote outskirts like the hills, especially on the eastern slopes (the other side).

Yup,- the smoke from the forest fire in Santa Barbara can be seen as far as Simi Valley....

How about Monterey, bro? IMO, it's another place that is easy to love....

Simi Valley isn't really that far away, maybe a 30-minute drive from Santa Barbara.

The great brush fire east of San Francisco (during 1991, 1992?) was much bigger. The shadow from the smoke pillar blocked out the sun and we were visiting near Yuba City (north of Sacramento) at the time.

Monterey is also nice. Actually, that whole area between Monterey and Santa Barbara is quite nice. But, it's pretty cold up there. It's at Santa Barbara where the weather is just balmy enough to be pleasant.

Upwelling brings up the colder water which cools down the coastal areas north of Santa Barbara. That's why the surfers up north wear wet suits. The water's freaking cold.

here's a street view where they staged a parade and other things when the google team is taking pictures of the street.
