More Fun with Google Earth

Can you tell I don't want to get dinner ready, or clean up the house, or workout, or...? So, in order to support such procrastination efforts ... a pictorial of my life provided by Google Earth.

I was raised in a small town of about 2,500 people. I think the population is now about 4,000. Still only one stop light, though. I lived on the west side of town.


Here's a close up of the house where I grew up. It's the white roof at the end of the cul-de-sac (I guess there are two, but do you really care which one?)


I went to elementary school .8 miles from home there in town. In 4th grade, they bussed all the 4th graders out to an even smaller town 7 miles away, so here is where I went to 4th grade. That's the entire town. The school is located at the bottom of the picture.

Here's a close up of the school, which I'm posting because it looks like there is a monkey painted in the playground. Weird.

Then I went to middle and high school back in town. The middle school was located literally down the street from my house, so that was a nice commute. The high school was .4 miles away, but I still managed to get a ride to school almost everyday. Pitiful.

Then I went to college in a nearby city. As you can see, my locations are getting bigger. I know the scale is confusing, but it gives you a general idea. Still not up to a big city, yet.


After college, I moved to Denver. You all know how big/small Denver is, so I'm not going to take a picture of it. I lived in 5 different places before landing in the first house we bought. I loved our home there because it was a patio home and the HOA took care of all landscaping and mowing of our front yards. Also, the garages were located in back of the houses, so it made for a much more pleasing exterior, in my opinion. However, the community was basically a dead zone (which I liked...quiet = good) because there were a lot of retirees and not many families with kids. It was also gated, so we didn't have any through traffic driving by which was nice.


Then we moved here - I've already posted that picture. Wow, my life story in pictures is pretty dull, but it did kill just enough time that it is now time to start dinner.
