I just looked at the picture... and despite my utter distaste for Microsoft, and my utter love for google... Quality is owned.

Google would have to be a long time ago... We sold our house in NYC in 2000, and the picture is around that time, literally exactly... There's a moving truck outside of our house.

The pictures from Microsoft are from a year ago or so. I can see the storm that left a scar in our area last September, and I can also see our old neighbor's car that moved out last year too. So I guess it's relatively new.

You assume that I assume that they don't.

You should assume that I assume that they do, but that I assume that using something that assumably uses satellite visual tracking is assumably bad for my health.

Those are some big houses, or do they just look big... hmm. How many square feet did it have?

Houses around here look smaller.
