Strange thing a lot of us tech geeks seem to have in common -- spending hours looking at maps = just like travelling, but for free, instantly! (Google Maps has made it way less fun tho, less room for imagination to come into play)

DAMN YOU AND SUCH

spent 10 minutes trying to randomly get a streetview of somewhere in Edmonton.

My first random location was a desolate stretch of highway in Saskatchewan, the only thing that wasn't prairie was a single hay bale (no joke, I think I have a screen shot somewhere on my HDD)
