They took the Kirkland ship away!

Mike Torres talks about how he used MSN Virtual Earth to remember the geography of Kirkland, the Seattle neighborhood where I live. Sadly, his trick - using the big white ship at Kirkland marina as a reference point - won't work for much longer. Why? Because they took the ship away, after it served 8 years as a breakwater and local landmark. We'll miss you, big white ship :(
 
Hey Mike, how often does MSN Virtual Earth update their aerial photos? Maybe we can start a petition to keep the big white ship around forever in virtual space? :)

Hello? Have you looked outside recently?
