I'm in the east wing.

Will you get unpacked before it's time for you to move again?

Gads, if I moved like you do, I wouldn't own anything more than would fit in a suitcase and a couple of plastic grocery bags.

The house looks isolated.

It looks like the East Concourse to me. You must live at Gates 22-27.

Nice place. Have the authorities searched for Jimmy Hoffa on the grounds?

Actually that's the piano room!

Before I moved to Hoboken, everything I owned fit into the back of my Bronco.

I was in Hoboken for a year and a half then Westbury for almost three. I'd have stayed in Westbury for many more but we all had to evacuate.

There is something about this place that is really inviting to me. It surprised me. Then I realized it is the isolation of it that is attractive - like I wouldn't have to deal with people.

Then, I realized that not dealing with people keeps me small, so I was no longer attracted to this place.

I seem to constantly deal with not wanting to deal with people and knowing that not doing so keeps me small.

I got that from a photo of a mansion.

Life is pretty cool.

From what you've said of your own home, Pea, I imagine that it's more isolated than this place.

Although you can't see it from this view, Google Maps shows that Bob has neighbors not more than 100 yards away. Amazing, the detail that site can give for some neighborhoods!

You can be more isolated than I am here while living in a high-rise in the middle of NYC.

I think it's more like two hundred across the street to the neighbor's. Tyson's old place is across the street and three to the left.

Okay, I must not be getting this. Am I being dense?

It does not look like Bernardville, NJ

Did you move out to be with your daughter?

Tyson used to live here in CT but I know he doesn't anymore.




My conference call with Bangkok is over so maybe I should just go back to bed.

What does Bernardsville look like? :P

Google Mike Tyson and Bernardsville.

You can also use Google Maps and type in the coordinates at the bottom of the photo.

You got that photo from Google Earth, right, Bob? It does seem to distort the perspective a lot in the upper half of the picture and I can't figure out why the trees on those hill look bare, as if the photo were taken in winter, while those close to the house are summery green. But, yeah, using Google Maps confirms exactly where that is.

That's good horse country. Jackie O used to have a place there, back in the day.



So, were these people advertising these rooms for rent in the paper or did they use more discreet methods to find a suitable tenant?

Well, if you ever see a car like this, with the camera shown on its roof, tooling down your street:

know that very soon shots of your house as detailed as this one (which happens to be my father's house) will soon be on Google Maps' "Street View"

I read recently that some of the people shooting the street level view pictures went on a military base and started taking pictures and the government wasn't very amused.
