The 1st Marine Division tore down the statue in Baghdad. In February they are redeployed to the Sunni Triangle. They want to give the people a great first impression of the Marines. It could be a life or death difference.

Help the Marines present the children of the Sunni triangle with toys, schooling and medicine. Make generosity and caring the "face of America". Tell the people the Marines are on their side.

When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s the Marines were the thick-skulled hard-ass guys who would beat you up for no good reason. Converting them to kind giving souls on our behalf is a weird and beautiful switcheroo.

Gaw bless um. It turns out we need all kinds of people. I just wish I was the cool kid who didn't get beat up.

You can be proud of contributing to the war effort by getting those guys in shape.

This was quite cool. There is a similar feature on mapquest, with better resolution, and color images.

The coverage is not as complete, though. (My house is on the above link and mapquest, fort slang only on the terraserver version.)

The image of the nuthouse is pretty good. You'll have to scroll this image a click to the northeast (upper right corner arrow).

The capital letter "E" shaped building with the white roof toward the top of the picture is the regional forensic unit ... my building is the capital "E" with the dark roof. Wish the resolution were good enough so I could see if my car was in the parking lot ...

My house is there all right. Nice picture too. Where do they get these? I don't recall seeing any black helicopters then...

There are a couple of programs out there that use these photos in concert with your GPS to allow you to plot your course and locations on them. Way fun.

Well, Elspode finally convinced me that I needed to participate myself on the Cellar rather than just feeding him links to items. So, I'm Mrs. Elspode, although I do prefer my own identify of Selene, thank you. I've certainly enjoyed many of your postings since Patrick has shared many a good laugh or discussion with me. I hope I will be able to keep up with everyone here.

For my first posting then, I thought some of you might enjoy this link...I think it's a great idea and everyone needs at least 3.

You may need to cut and paste that.

Thanks...

Welcome Selene! I look forward to getting to know you.

Great first post, btw.

Wow, this thread has gone beyond the pale and into the realm of the ludicrous ("It's Spaceball 1! They've gone PLAID!").
On that note, as a kid, I used to log on to my dad's work network and play this bizarre game where I was an '@' symbol, and I would wander around in a dungeon and kill things. I never knew what it was until just recently. Nethack. So, without further ado, I present:
Nethack3.4.3 for all your adventuring needs. It runs on most any platform (including Amiga!) and is a great way to kill six or seven days of your life.
