The street we live on is a one-block segment, terminated by a school at each end. On the other side of one of the schools the street continues for another block. It took a while for Google Maps to get that second segment properly into its database. From time to time I would see a delivery van stopped outside our house with a confused driver trying to figure out why the house numbers didn't match up. I helped more than one such driver on his way. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | In this world there are \ / <[email protected]> | two kinds of people: X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | 1.
