[mine](http://terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?t=1&s=10&x=2567&y=22237&z=18&w=1) Mines the one where the main road starts to bend to the left and has another street intersecting to the right. It’s also glowing white no doubt because my kids have all the lights in the house on. ---

You can’t actually see the house because it’s so wooded (and the house is pretty dinky), but it’s across the street from the property on the northwest side of the “T” intersection. See that barn opposite the “T” intersection? Thirty-five people have hit it in the last 40 years or so. One woman was decapitated. Glad I missed that one. ---

Mine is [here](http://terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?t=1&s=10&x=2759&y=24191&z=11&w=1). By scale of the image I live about a half inch to the right of the line you see on the left that runs at about a 70 degree slope. Now come down about an inch from the top. The street I live on angles about 70 degrees to the left instead of to the right. Look for a row of three white squares. These are the rooftops to the carports of the townhouse complex I live in. The triangular wedge-shaped field to the left has since been developed with houses (the photo was taken on July 5, 1998). I can also see my mom and dad’s house in this image. Go to the lower right and locate the big intersection where the two main roads meet. They’re just to the northeast of this corner by about an inch. I can see the grouping of large, mature trees in their back yard. ---
