Hey Dover: I checked out the earth. google.com site and you are right, It is pretty cool. I tried to zoom in on cottons and follow the river, but that area wasn't highlighted like the areas to the east and west, so the picture was distorded some what. I guess the country side of the satelite imaging process doesn't show up as sharp compared to a city or town. I got playing around with it and went to the west of here and located Nashville. After I kept zooming in and out around town, I noticed something pretty good size down by the river. Come to find out it was the titians football statium and you could see it and pick it apart, so to speak pretty good. I kept zooming in and you could read the word "TITIANS" spelled out in the end zones. Not a bad picture at all, considering it was snapped several thousand miles above the earth. Would still like to have a good old map of the river if possible...I ain't up on all this high tech stuff...Guess you could say that I am from the "old school" and I have got the years to back it up...LOL. Talk at you later...283
