Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

I keep hoping for a location in central Missouri because a friend drove the streetview car there.

Thrive to spite them

I'm getting pretty good at guessing Western Australia based on the road in the middle of nowhere and the red dust/clay.

And I'm getting repeat pictures - and keep getting them wrong.

If we're playing challenges - this was my best-ever score so far:

Damn, Fiona. Places where I was within .2km you were within .1km. I picked the wrong town in Ireland, though.

Ah, that explains why Africa is only ever going to be one of the southernmost countries.

And I'm getting repeat pictures - and keep getting them wrong.

I've already gotten a couple of repeats.

Punishingly Intricate

I got 22,000 something on Fiona's challenge, not using google. Well, Bob and I did as he was playing over my shoulder. I think I could have done better but I had to hurry a bit to go get a pedicure. Thank God I had that scheduled or else I never would have left the couch and laptop today!

Y'know, I used to buy old travel books from used book stores for research for my scenic design classes. Now there's street view. And for period stuff, Flickr Commons can be pretty great. I still like my travel books, though.

In the last hour a bunch of road destruction vehicles have gathered around my corner. Do not like.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, I got my exam results. The letter says I passed the written test with a score of 95, which sounds pretty good. Unfortunately, when I look up the eligibility list online, 95 puts me in Rank 4 and only the highest three ranks can be considered for appointment, so that's discouraging. I can't take it again for 12 months and raising my score from 95 to 100 seems not very achievable

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, I am sorry - t, but I have faith in you to get those five points next year.
