One of my vistas showed a school field trip, with all the kids holding a string to keep them in line, in Andalusia, Spain. And then a picture of that field trip turned up on Picasa: [link]

you know what isn't though and is great for passing a slow Friday waiting for emails? The Fug Girls. I had not been on their site for yonks. I still liked the scrolling site better from way back, but it's still a good time, less snarky though - really short posts.

So movers are scheduled for a week from today. I should be able to get everything packed up by then. And the movers have climate controlled storage, so I figured I'd just go with that and cut out the middle man of a different storage facility. One more thing down.

I'm going on the Ohio-ish approach. And when in doubt, guess Australia.

On the GeoGuessr, are people looking for landmarks/signs/whatever and then googling?
Yes; street signs; notices; websites on advertising hoardings. Sometimes signs in Japanese or Korean can also be in English; cyrillic, not so much. Once I ended up on a square somewhere in Russia and all I could do was turn around in circles. I guessed Siberia (there was snow on the ground), but it turns out Siberia is big.
The quality of some of the pictures is so much worse than others. When you finally find a sign and you can't read it properly, that's so frustrating!

For me, it's usually somewhere in South America

Australia or Brazil. If I can zoom in enough to see Portuguese, I go with Brazil. And if it looks like Middle Earth, it's New Zealand (though the sign for the Kiwi Bank helped).

I am just using ma brane, and I am doing pretty good! Course, I put one arrow in the ocean off Portugal, but hey...it's not very specific!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG you guys, I am tired and cranky and ITCHING for a fight on the internet.
So WATCH OUT is I guess what I'm saying.
