I was totally going to find the nearest webcam and go say hi to you guys on it... but it turns out the nearest one to me is in Louisiana.

Alas, I couldn't find any easy-access street views in that list. They're all shots of the top of the Capitol building, or the UT tower, or over Lake Travis... and I have neither a boat, nor government security clearance. (Actually, the UT Tower did finally reopen awhile back, only about 30 years after the Charles Whitman massacre, but it's still on very tightly scheduled tours, and the observation deck is way too small to see in those shots.)

you need more local liberal vigilantes....

you could set one up....

glatt · 09-27-2011, 07:22 AM

Ok Monster, I grabbed these shots before the red van went by. Is one of them you?

glatt · 09-27-2011, 07:23 AM

and then two more, just before the red van.

monster · 09-27-2011, 07:34 AM

No, we were before then. We stood on the far sidewalk intersetion, near that lamppost with a poster on it. The crossing we went back and forth over was the stripey one.

monster · 09-27-2011, 07:35 AM

But the red van was definitely me. I can see my stickers on the windows, and yes, i had the window down

glatt · 09-27-2011, 07:52 AM

Oh, well I only got two other pictures from earlier.

monster · 09-27-2011, 09:10 AM

Yes! that's us in the second one. I'm near the lamppost holding a piece of paper, and hector is the smaller one on in the middle. The third person is giving us a WTF look

glatt · 09-27-2011, 09:18 AM

Hi Monster and Hector!

monster · 09-27-2011, 10:04 AM

I tried to zoom in, but it's too poor quality. The paper says "Hi Cellar"

The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY.

The have 18 cameras, 2 you can pan, tilt, & zoom, and 16 that refresh about every second. The PTZ cams are outside, and are of pretty decent quality.

You should check 'em out, see some Vettes, zoom in and see who's at Wendy's a quarter mile away...

Enable Java, if you turn it off.

glatt · 09-27-2011, 11:52 AM

Hey, that's a fun camera to play with. I just watched a workman at a hotel across the highway putting a banner up.

monster · 09-27-2011, 11:48 AM

are you at Wendy's now?
