Well, not eaten is kinda aesthetically pleasing, dontcha think?
Even my ponds here at home are "armored" and still I lost an important fish last September. That's why the one I'm working on now is in a greenhouse.
I've had the same questions as Steve the birdman about the blocks of clarity on Google Earth. Who owns the satellites? Are they law enforcement/ national security/ intelligence tools? If so, then it is possible that the blurry spots are where there are no drug dealers, no need to have clarity. Or reverse, there is, and they don't want you to see it. Spooky. I know some are so clear you can see vehicles and shadows. Neither my house in Michigan nor the land in Florida have good detail in their Google Earth shots.
In Marie's plot map, I thought the barn by the road was the house; with nothing to scale it to I couldn't size it. It's big right?.
