Also, I zoomed in on a local construction project that shows it in a state that was from many months before 2/27/2004. I'd call the picture fall 2003.) Ack. Lemmie try again, this time with an actual reply! Greg, maybe 2/27 date is when Terraserver *got* the photo and not when it was *taken*. I seem to recall that satellite photos these days are "vetted" to ensure that nothing "secret" is photographed and publically made available to "bad people" (using quotes to try and keep things apolitical) .. which could account for the discrepancies you noticed. <looking at pic> where's the Bus? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
