  Heck, that’s nothing. Here’s a gal flashing her headlights for the Googlemobile. And here the cameras captured a drug deal going down.

  Guess they’ll be udating that view like real soon.

  I’ve got to hand it to those Google people. They know what to do with the new technology, and they’re constantly improving it. Back before the boom, I could see the Internet coming, but I figured it would be too far-flung and dynamic and huge ever to be indexed. I never would have believed that anyone would be able to instantly give results for arbitrary keyword and phrase searches.

  The newer Google street view captures try to obscure faces of people, and they also work in some processing so as to hide the camera-toting vehicle. In earlier pictures, you can look down and see the top of the car to which the camera is strapped.

  I think a burning house is a great landmark to use for giving directions.

  Okay, who has any marshmallows?

  Would it have killed the Google driver to break out some fire extinguishers?

  No, they’re like documentary filmmakers, they can’t upset the natural balance of things

  plus which, they are the god of Google Fire

  A lot of the pictures are a few years old. Is April on there in any of her old addresses?

  Click on the right arrow. One image is missing. One more click and you see two fatties in their driveway.

  It’s good thing those fatties didn’t flash their headlights at the Googlemobile.

  The Googlemobile guys are like Uatu the Watcher. Their job is to observe and document, but to never interfere.

  Of course, the main difference between the two is that the Googlemobile guys actually do their job. Burning house? Car crash? Gang shooting? Kid falling off his bike? Fuck all that shit, we have to finish our map of the greater metropolitan areas of Akron, Ohio.

  Meanwhile, if Reed Richards stubs his toe on his way to the crapper, Uatu is down here in a nanosecond, just begging to tear apart the fabric of space and time to make ol’ Reed’s boo-boo feel better.

  God, I hate Uatu the Watcher. Goofy looking baldy-headed fucker should stay in the blue area of the moon.

  “Foreclose on THIS Bitch!”

  Good thing the Fire Department was already there! Do you think they would have bestirred themselves to call 911 if not?

  Hey bnaivar, I think foreclosure is a waste of time – this one is already toast!
