I have a friend who moved from NY to Oslo in the late 1980s for some sort of "temporary" job in the music industry - he's still there - married, Norwegian citizen, etc.  I hear from him on FB once in a while.

Some crank made news for saying Trump's mention of Norway was because he wanted to help defend their border with Russia or something.
 
So I took a little tour of the Norge/Russia border...
 


 

Why do Americans leave out the Red River, flowing north from Minnesota/North Dakota into Canada?

And the reach of the Columbia River that flows north into Canada before returning to the south.

How does one get a job driving one of Google's street view camera cars around?

Yeah, I noticed that tower in the background.  Earlier yesterday I was on the phone with a caller from Munising, who was talking about going fishing out on his boat, this weekend and it prompted me to look around their coastline on Google Earth (pretty nice).  After that I zoomed out on the map and made a random drop, which happened to land in Ypsilanti.

if you continue on Cross St you'll see the water tower, legend has it that if a virgin graduates from Eastern Michigan University then the water tower will crumble,
here's a post card of our famous landmark

If you run over a cyclist, be sure to bury the evidence.

It's nice that it's so close to the Crossroads and that there are three places to eat just up the block.

Another example of dropping the Google Earth Pin guy in a random location: Proceed slowly down he street (W. Cross) and observe the "tremendous" change of the right-hand-side corner where the cyclist is standing.

Farther down that street on the left, you'll find Medical Marijuana Dispensary known as "The Shop".
It's better to use the "View On Google Maps" option.  The Google Earth Pin Guy is carrying balloons for some reason.

I noticed that but kept thinking it was a St. Patrick's Day reveler

teddy bear cam?

Whatever vehicle the GoogleEarth camera is mounted to has some sort of green, stuffed animal (bear) head in front of it.

DHG found this in Nome: The end of the Iditarod, March 18, 2015. If you turn around and go a few blocks up the street, you'll find the St. Patrick's Day parade (such as it is) from 3/17/2015 
 

Hey, I made a Photosphere!
 
Okay, Google and Apple made it; I just turned in a circle...

Whiling away a file transfer and playing GeoGuessr... this guy is in Sweden. I guess when the sun comes out, you take advantage of it...
