I've cybered myself over to Donegal, Ireland tonight...

[AussiePam]

Gosh I wish I could go to Donegal. Instead, I have to hit the road here. I think it's called doing a runner. Sigh. Family stuff. Kathy - I'll be around tomorrow, I have a lot of stuff to fix quickly and it's all suddenly, but then I have to go under the radar for at least a fortnight. So if we don't catch up before then, I'll hope to catch up in a bit.

Kathy, when you cyber yourself over there, do you do the thingy where you can actually stroll down the streets? My daughter just taught me that trick, so I can go up streets from my childhood, then move on to Pittsburgh, etc. It's fun!

Dunno what I'd do without the TARDIS I liberated from that rather silly, new age sensitive latest version of timelordery, Zapata. Time and space travel. Neat!!! Wanna ride?

[Zapata]

Yes! Lovely! Where are we going and what do I need to do?

Hey Zap and Pam,

Have you ever gone on google maps to find your homes? I was born in an inner city that was absolutely gorgeous growing up there. Unfortunately, it's gotten very dangerous and difficult to visit there.

But this will always be where my memories are. In fact, when I dream, they're always in my childhood home.

If you haven't been to this site, you can key in your address, and it will bring you to an interactive site that lets you move along all the streets by moving your curser.

It was so cool to see my old home. It still looks beautiful. I "walked" up and down my street.....and visited the pool, ice skating rink, shops, my grammar school and church, my high school and college and friend's homes.

I also found my brother's home and saw his car in the driveway.

I can't really see my home at the beach since it's only an ariel view, but I did see my car in the driveway.

I know that many people don't like this new technology, but I love it because I can visit my old haunts and my favorite places in Florida and South Carolina.

Just go to google.com... then google maps.....key in your address, and click on your street. You can use your curser to "walk" along your city streets.

Pam, I also found your street in C. but I didn't knock on any doors Think I also found Ducky's home....

Yes! That's the one I meant. I get it by going to Google maps. I can't get my present home because it's not in an incorporated area. But it is so much fun to see childhood homes, those of friends, etc..

I forgot to mention that it can be very dangerous to cyber something over to another place. I cybered some of my delicious, homemade bread, to OpenMind, and it nearly hit him in the head....It landed in his backyard like a speeding bullet

Sounds like something that happened when I sent (teleported actually) that fruitcake . . .oh, no, it was a fruitcake that I sent it to.
