When the Homily is about Immunology

Google Maps

For some this may be old news, but I have just been introduced to GoogleMaps and it is pretty slick. First note that you can click and drag the map in order to quickly and easily center your location. And then, coolest of all, you can click on the "satellite" link on the right hand side and get a decent satellite image of the region. I think it is particularly cool to see your route laid out (if you chose directions to or from) over a satellite image!

Now...put in your home address in this format: street address, city, state
Then click on "Local Search" right above the address entry form.
Now go ahead and enter "pizza" and get a list of pizza places around your house.
Do the same, this time try "Orthodox" for a list of Orthodox Churches(and those claiming to be Orthodox) around you.
Pretty cool, eh?

Beware though...if your location is remotely rural, don't expect an image.
