Streetview Zoology
February 9, 2011
About an hour ago I was standing on the corner, waiting for the traffic light to change.
Rather uninterested, I was watching a couple of policemen that had just apprehended a guy on a motorcycle for some minor offence. When I noticed a pretty strange car approaching. With a weird contraption sticking out high on top of it’s roof. It took me about 3 seconds – long enough for the car to pass me by – before I realized it was a Google Maps Street View Car. (Also the word G O O G L E was written on the side. Which in hindsight was a pretty good clue, but to my defense, I don’t read too well from a distance.)
Not sure if it was the same brand and model of car, but it was red and looked something like this:
So no obscene gestures as some kind of prank from my part. No time to dress up like a ninja, scubadiver, Star Wars character or Archangel Lucifer for that matter,… if the camera was taking pictures at the time, I involuntarily joined the ranks of the legions that only manage to look as perplexed (ok, stupid) as cattle in a meadow, staring at a hot air balloon.
So I guess my town is almost on the modern map of efficient anticipatory route planning.
As for appropriate music. …. Uh…. OK, maybe now everybody will find their way home.

Damn you Gruff Shit, you should have dropped your daks for prosperity sake.
Let us know when you appear, we could have a competition to find the Gruff Guano. Lucky you don’t live in France, I hear there is a lot of guano on them there streets !!!!

Good idea, Loon. I’ll keep an eye out and let you know.
That’s not guano on the road in France though, maybe it was one of those areas where the streets are paved with truffles and caviar. But they do often talk guano.
