It's been raining here a lot recently and I'm doing some computer work in the basement, so I've been spending some time on Google Earth and enjoying it! I've looked up all the places I've lived as a civilian and while in the military and I'm especially impressed that I found my barracks in Okinawa, Mt Fuji, Japan as well as Ras Al Mishab, Saudi Arabia. The last time I tried to see these locations they were blocked on Google Earth, but now everything seems to be there. I found the place I lived in Government Camp, Oregon (on Mt Hood) and I was a bit saddened to see that where I went to boot camp in the Navy (NTC, San Diego) was bulldozed and developed into several neighborhoods with a very few of the cool old buildings salvaged.

I found the airport in Italy and Belgium (Ostend) that we stopped at on our flight to/from Saudi Arabia and cool places that we've visited in the past (St George, Utah, Yosemite, Yellowstone, etc...).

It's a great way to spend some time and reminisce...
