Got to googling the other day and Google map now has what they call street view well I went to our last contruction job location and low and behold they caught us crossing the road loaded . Amazing what are the odds, would have never thought about that happening .Has anybody else had this happen to them ? I will try to figure out how to post link .twj
I checked out our farm on google and in the street view I can see the horses in the pasture and me on the tractor coming around the barn. I was impressed
Sorta scary ain't it
Well the days are over where a man could build a tractor shed or barn or shop on his land without a building permit from the county. With the software and the satellites I am sure my tax dollars coud fund a person's salary to sit and look at computer images all day long for new additions to tax Every four or five years the county sends a guy around to check for any new addtions or dwellings, but with the right kind of farm dogs he usually never drove past the houses to get up to the barn Now they got me on the computer
Every four or five years the county sends a guy around to check for any new addtions or dwellings, but with the right kind of farm dogs he usually never drove past the houses to get up to the barn (Quote) A couple of yrs ago caught our local tax gestapo agent sitting in the ditch in front of our house went out and ask why they were sitting in t he ditch . started asking questions of how they valued property without looking at property close up .She replied that they guess at what you have in the home What the sh** . I asked what she had down for us older house is what we have they had us down for central heat and air , carpet ,2 bathrooms .I Laughed and she asked what was funny I said that old house with all the new stuff no way I told her sticky tile flooring , 1 bathroom , and window units for cooling and gas heaters for heat . She seemed to puf up like a old pufferfish said well !! she got the last laugh though she saw a incomple shed we had stared but never finished this is only like six poles and 3 side of top rail . She vauled it at $100.00 told the witch with a Capital B to hold about 10 mins and it would not be there any more . Hate the idots with a purple passion . Got to be a specail place for them when that kick the bucket Really do not think A/C is a choice .

its cool till you own a piece of property with a dump on it.... i've buried more than one dump in our neighborhood for neighbors worried about this very topic althought more issues crop up with angry neighbors than the big eye in the sky the NRCS (natural resource & conservation service) gave my grandpa a call. apparently he had dug a dead hole for hogs (which is illegal in IL) on a piece of set aside ground (uncle sam pays you if you leave it absolutely alone). well they called him in, showed him the satelite photo of the hole. asked him what that was. told him don't do it again. they were reasonable, but still, pretty amazing. we took a IR satelite photo of a test plot under corn rootworm pressure. the picture was absolutely amazing. showed protected hybrids one color, the stressed plants another. at the end of the day these technologies make us better. with that said, in the wrong hands could be very harmful as well.....
