PC problems and street view with another win

Have had PC problems with overheating again so was forced to use the laptop and VISTA. Prefer XP any day. But back in action again.

December 2008 is here. Xmas is coming and so is Google Street View. Had a look at our place and found the exercise quite interesting. We only had a picture of our house with us not present, which would be as expected, since our house is geared with the living area facing towards the back. A friend said his picture caught him leaving his house. The privacy concerns are many I suppose, but with a picture only, I can't really see any problems.

Also had a look at my brothers place in Australia.

Busy at the moment. The Xmas Raffle is underway, SeniorNet, Probus function tonight, Xmas Parade last Saturday. We took Kipp to the Xmas Parade and of course he loved the trucks (especially the Police cars and Fire Engines) but was not happy at all with the clowns. Got quite scared of them. Planning to visit Wellington to pick up the Rotary Audit stuff next week and will take him on the train with me.

Quiz - We took out the jackpot again but as it was won the previous week and we had a team of 6
we split $104 between 6 of us. It was an all NZ question evening and we didn't do that well in the general questions.
Our mistake was taking Politics as our Bonus Double Points round when we should have taken General Knowledge which would have put us in 1st equal.

Clever clogs me knew the Jackpot answer!! I've got it twice now, Joe once and a team effort once.
