[rescue] Google Map - My Map feature

[William Kirkland]

*IF* someone were to drop a nuke on Seatac, WA -- there is a 90%, or  
higher, probability that I would die as a result of the blast. ...  
and I live close enough an international airport to be considered a  
high value target. Guess I did not plan that too well.

[ just put a pin in the second runway. ]

ARGH - that's what you get for tinkering too late at night...

I failed to realize exactly why they named it "My Maps" - it is a  
tool to allow me to create my own maps and share them...

If folks want to send me names and some geographic location, I'll add  
them to this map. If you are uncomfortable specifying an exact street  
address, a city and state/city and country should suffice.

Dual-homed people can specify both locations I guess...

Sorry about that,

Lionel
