The article is very cute. It makes me have to wonder about something, though -- the GPS satellites! Not that I have anything in particular to hide, but I've demolished several raised beds I had out in the middle of the yard, and I wonder if Big Brother is watching and wondering who's buried back there? They look like graves. Hmmm...
Today's nude gardening article
lol - did you ever watch "The Last Supper" - they kill people in a very clean and not scary movie... and burry them in the yard. They they use the mounds to plant tomatoes and have bumper crops.
LOL, Mitch! That description is an oxymoron if ever I saw one!! But who am I to talk? I liked "Pulp Fiction"!!!
I liked Pulp Fiction too ~ well, maybe not liked but was entertained by it, well, maybe not entertained but amused by it, well maybe... LOL I still haven't figured out where it began and where it ends.
The GPS photo imagery is being used now on farmers. The farmers that have collected insurance or assistance for crop damage have been taken to court and have had the photos stand up in court to prosecute fraudulent claims. Also in areas where wetlands are protected, GPS photos over a time frame have been used.
Not to worry Brigidlily ~ they would have snapped you dragging the bodies out there... lol
The Google Earth photo has not changed in ages. A ranch we looked at months ago was partly covered in clouds. I downloaded the latest version and the same piece of property is still covered in the same clouds.
Our picture is at least a dozen years old, I wouldn't worry.
Some in close to the Cities are very up to date. They even have views from the N,S, E, & W!! Cars in driveways with doors open, swimming pools, etc.
Ahhhh ~ a dozen years old, I would look soooo much better ~ lol
LOL!!
Ours shows re-landscaping we did three years ago, but not the current work. And podster - your description of Pulp Fiction is right on!! LOL! However, I have now watched it enough times that I've figured out what goes where. Have you ever checked out the Ezekial passage? That's not what it says at all!
No ~ but I will ~ very interesting and it will be so disappointing as it was delivered so well ~lol Have watched it 3 or 4 times here too. Like watching a poisonous snake. A morbid fascination....
edited to add apologies to Brigidlily ~ we went from "pulp" to "pulp fiction" 8 )

LOL, podster. You are so right!
Yes. Definitely back to that funny article, which made me cringe, thinking about every time I have been in the rear up position, "facing" the street.
How do you google earth? I'd like to see what my yard looks like.
Not a problem! I loved/hated Pulp Fiction -- it's like, I really loved it, but I'm the only person who should be allowed to watch it, you know?
LOL! But, again, I know what you mean.
Here ya go. Free download. http://earth.google.com/
Thanks!
Pod, they wouldn't see Brig dragging those bodies if she did it at night, my friend. (~;
The most current satellite photos of my place are from before we even moved in (2 1/2 yrs ago).I was at work when I first saw the photo. It shows a car in my driveway and we have 2 pickups. I thought it was a live shot for some reason, and I was like " Who the heck is at my house?!?!". Then I saw the date down in the corner and felt like an idiot.
hahahah. You're no idiot, JT. We all thought the same thing that we would see live shots.
Not worth the time in my opinion.
LouC
If someone is watching me in my yard, they've got TOOO much time on their hands! Talk about boring!
I liked Pulp Fiction ... I just have a really hard time with all the F words. I'm no prude, I just really dislike that word.
Carla
Lest any of you think I am wearing my tin foil hat ~ lol
Quoting:
they wouldn't see Brig dragging those bodies if she did it at night
Not quite true... they do have special lens coatings that would make this possible. OTOH, they would have to specifically have a reason to be watching her drag the carcasses out to the garden... ~ sorry Brigidlily ~ 8 0
LOL ~ Loonie ~ if they care to watch me, they are giving others a break!
pod, they can make up reasons. That's why we call them "Them..."
You mean you're NOT wearing your tin foil hat? ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?!?!?!?
LOL ~ well at least two of us know what tinfoil hats are good for... lets us garden in the buff... 8 )
Back about nine years ago it was Tierra Server. You had almost unlimited resolution. You could see almost real time depending on the satellite. What ever you can imagine is probably true. High speed spectral analysis has been here for years. Just assume everything visible and digital is public. To give you an idea. The radar unit they took earlier thought the jetties her in Port Aransas. Tx was destined for the pacific, to watch Korea. It was supposed to be able to clock a baseball thrown in NY from it's final destination somewhere close to Alaska. Science fiction, government hype? Who knows the extent of technology. We all accept television hanging like pictures on the wall. It was science fiction a few years back.
I still need tin foil for the aliens. rofl
Jim
Attaboy Jim! Do you have a favorite flavor of tin foil?
BTW ~ terra server was the one I was familiar with but just couldn't remember the name. Heard "aluminum" can have an effect on my memory ~LOL http://terraserver.microsoft.com/
The thick stuff works well it does not allow connection to my hyperlink. Tin foil and cans hanging from my cowboy hat have protected me so far.
Since the gulf war all resolution has been diminished. I guess it was kind of silly to have anyone look down on you for free. They have shifted all GPS also. It was worse with Loran. I used to do some marine navigation.
Do those cans say "Lone Star"?
sssssshhhhhhhhhhh! You don't want Them to figure it out, ceejay!
Aha ! I have finally found my fellow paranoids !
OK, folks. I'm gonna tell you a true story and see
what you make of it.
I had a neighbor back in Chicago who works for the
phone company. In order to keep tabs on their trucks
and their workers, they mounted a small satelite dish
with a GPS system on the top of each and every truck.
Well, right after they did that, my neighbor started getting
the worst headaches of his life - as did a few of his buddies.
Jokingly, I said to him one day that he should line the roof
of his cab with aluminum foil and see what happens.
He did. No more headaches. So a few of his buddies
have too. No more headaches. So ---- ?????
Maybe all those jokes about the tin foil under your hat
have got something to them.........I'm just wondering.
Interesting, especially in light of a segment I listened to yesterday on NPR about the newest non-lethal weapon the military is coming out with. It's the use of concentrated RADIO WAVES to stun your victim!
So... hmmm... maybe just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you don't need a tin hat...
Mahnot ~ do you work as a "tin foil" salesman? LOL
Amazing how many of the larger companies are tracking their employees and servicemen with GPS units. They monitor if a vehicle sits where there is not a service call. The phone guys will park near a junction box and walk across the block for coffee or ride off with a friend.
Brigidlily, "paranoid" is a persecution complex when you
THINK the whole world is out to get you, but there is no word
for when you think so and it's true. Hmmmm.
Podster, yep - people are clever, aren't they? No matter how
complicated they make the maze, the rats eventually figure out
how to get the cheese :o)
Hah ! Don't I wish I had connections with the tin foil crowd -
that stuff is getting ridiculously expensive and they're making
it thinner and thinner. Heck, even the Heavy Duty stuff is no
longer as thick as it used to be. I'm having to use triple layers
under my hat now, where a single layer used to be enough :o)
Mahnot, there IS a word -- doomed! How far away can you get from a cell phone tower?
;}
Cell phone ? I hate the darned things and refuse to
carry one - unless I'm gonna be on the road in an area
I'm not familiar with. Yeah, I'm lookin' out for those towers -
never can tell what kind of radiation they're giving off.
Baah, humbug !
Cell signals are really spotty in east Tx. Not a large demand for towers here I guess. As a result, we don't have one. I do not have that much to say to anyone. And it would be totally useless at our home.
I have been hiding out. I thought I was spotted. Lone star can's shhhhhhhhhh lucky guess. New blinking light in the fog. A new tower ??? Aliens? Men in Black ? ??? Fear is everywhere... shiver... whew only a car blinker. I am hiding under a foil tent in the yard watching for spotters. Foil is special on the coast it does not rust and reflects. I hate gamma burns. I have reached the end of the internet twice searching for a cure and had to go back. They are always watching. I have to go buy more foil tomorrow there is plot to allow us to run out on Thanksgiving. There will be panic......The Turkey disguise will allow them into every home. The horror, The horror.................
jpotts has snapped. Or has she? But I think I'll make a run on the foil today - just in case.
This is why I put the ceramic turkey out in the yard on Thanksgiving -- it confuses Them.
It's so cute... with its little marigolds... and teeny tin hat...
