Google Maps doesn’t have very good resolution where I live. [Here’s](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=rankin+inlet&ll=62.810156,-92.095814&spn=0.037333,0.111219&t=h&hl=en) a link to a map. You can see the airport runway - the long straight line on the west side of town. Slowly zoom out to see how remote this is. ---

**Shirley** , there are a hell of a lot of silos in the US… Could you be a little more specific? Here is [Casa DeVena](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=montgomery+AL&ll=32.342443,-86.235530&spn=0.003884,0.010060&t=k&hl=en) - One of the few houses without a pool. And you should see it now!! We got a new roof last week. Still brown, but now it doesn’t leak! Neat! ---

The white roof in the middle of the frame is a firehouse for the Honeydew Volunteer Fire Company that was dedicated to the memory of my Dad, and the rust-colored roof just to the West (left) is my Mom’s [rental property](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/Hawk_creek_snow.jpg). I’m amazed that you can actually see the triangular shadow cast by a redwood tree that my Dad planted as a sapling when I was in High School, in the yard of the rental house. In the snowy picture the sapling is maybe 2 feet tall and is surrounded by some chicken wire to keep the deer from eating it. Now it is taller than the house. My family home is too surrounded by trees to really be visible. ---
