Of gear, fear, and getting too near

The Monday night recycling chores invariably find me leafing through New York Times editions of the preceding week -- one last look before either the recyclers or my next-door neighbors get them. This week we found a mini-treasure trove, as usual: A story about Hood River real estate trends (it's all about storage space); a little something about a new movie in which half of Portland is possessed by homicidal dementia; and an interesting piece on privacy concerns being stirred up by the new "Street View" feature on Google Maps. Satellite shots of your house are one thing, but photos that look right into your windows? No worries in Portland; it seems the "Street View" cameras haven't made it here yet, and they probably won't invade our cozy little burg for a while.
