Anyway, here is my place in NY. It's two houses, one which we used to rent out I moved into when I was 20 or so with my little brother, and the "Old house" was where my older brother Mick lived. The woods behind the property were extremely fun to play in, and served us well when we got to partying age .
Now, 3000 or so miles west and south of there, is my new place in California. Notice the ocean is 3 blocks from me . Mission Bay is four blocks south and just off screen. Great area in my opinion (though a bit noisy).
Post your own, that is if you don't fear stalking .
from the center bottom arrow, mine in the square right above that, kinda.
The "description" at the top of the page is all funked up, though -- it says this is NE of Wichita, when truly it is NW.... (our government can't tell directions)

Xavier, You have to remember that most people, especially these young kids (and rightly so!) are afraid to put too much personal information on a public forum.
And a map to your house is about as personal as you get....

The "S" shaped building in the upper-right quandrant is my current apartment building. The whiteness of the roof belies it's cool, old-world style.
See the building with the four smoke stacks?My old house is just east across the street from it.

The pic for my current place is 16 years old, but amazingly enough it's there. I'm in the northernmost Building.
Where I used to live. It's the house on the south side of the road just before the cul-de-sac bulbs out. It's kinda hard to see but it's L-shaped.
And here is where I lived when I was in grad school. I'm in the apartment building that's right on the inside of that 90-degree turn near the top of the photo.
Oh, have I told you I love that site. But it's not really that easy to navigate unless you have a good landmark to work off of. My old house was a pain in the butt to find since the area is so congested. Zoom out and you'll see what I mean.

To point out the exact house, I'll do my best. On the left side of the picture, there is a subdivision that makes four blocks of horizontal rectangles. We were on the top rectangle, one house to the left of the house in the upper right corner of that rectangle.

Exactly. But this is fairly nearby. In fact, my building is almost-but-not-quite visible. I think. Hard to tell in a 10-year-old picture.

AJ, that thumbtack only appears if you do an advanced find. And it's not very accurate. I just tried my current address and in neither of the options it gave me did my apartment building even show up. Posts: 609 | Registered: Apr 2003

The blackish rectangle thing in the upper left is a pond on our road. Our driveway is the white line that goes SE/E/SE from there. The barns and house are just past were the driveway bends...

Circle farming has nothing to do with heavy machinery, and EVERYTHING to do with irrigation.
The "circles" you all see from the air are in areas where farmers use 'pivot' irrigation -- that means they drop a water well in the center of the field, which pumps up to a rotating above-ground pipe-sprinkler system (I've never tried to describe it with words before). The system is on wheels and slowly rotates around the field, using the well site as pivot, much like you using a compass to draw a circle on paper.
The area of Kansas I'm in sits on a huge underground aquifer (less than 1% of the worlds water is from underground aquifers -- we are extremely blessed) so many farmers around here using irrigation of some type, due to our extremely hot summers, and the availability of water so close to the surface.
No, my farm does not have irrigation. At this point, we don't even have crops any more. Did all the time I was growing up, but we converted mostly back to grassland for cattle, except for one portion we use to grow feed for cattle.
