Minding my own business on Facebook, a Mashable blurb caught my eye. Google had remarkably expanded its Streetviews inside Google Maps. Now, whenever you enter a Street Address, City, State and Zipcode, in most cases, you get a navigatable look in the immediate area selected. It's kind of spooky really. When I looked at my last house, lost in divorce, I saw that the garbage cans had just been emptied, still out on the streer. The grass was neatly mown, however.
I went immediately to the house I grew up in and a tree I had planted in the sixth grade was now quite huge. A look at my grandmothers house was still quite impressive, only a trained eye could tell that the old 'back-yard' was home to a new house, the address changed to allow for that.
I silently looked about, as if to spot the Google-Cams hovering, silently overhead. In this case, pointless, as Google has yet to discover the little cottage on the lake.

Does it show the changes the new owner will make after the current owner dies or moves away?

What will those Gringoes think of next!
