Geo blogging
by Katie Kish on Apr.08, 2007, under Fun, geography
Mr Aaron T Kaspar geo-blogged his childhood… I thought “hey what a cool idea!” … so I went to find Bothwell….
“We’re sorry, we don’t have imagery at this zoom level for this region.” says google maps, to me.
…The first look you actually get of Bothwell is a nice blur of green. So much for trying to be cool like Aaron.

Hello Lovers
I used to blog religiously about science, news, religion and the environment. Then I entered into my last years of University, got a boyfriend and a real job and it's all gone down hill from there. I still write on occasion and love getting comments and talking to people on the site. So leave a line :)

BTW I really like the Demographics and history of Bothwell…
this part especially:
Visible Minority Status
Characteristics Total Male Female
Total population by 1,000 480 520
Visible minority 0 0 0
Not much diversity?!

What’s weird is that although Tel Aviv’s satellite coverage is decent enough that I can make all three buildings I lived in and the elementary school I went to (but not the middle school, which is in an area with shitty coverage), there are no labels on the map, at all. The only thing Google labels anywhere in the Middle East is national boundaries - not even cities. Searching for “Tel Aviv” will get you some random point in, I believe, the central district (which isn’t really the center of the city - the north is).

Wow… Bothwell has demography graphs?! That’s totally awesome. I’ll have to read all that. There are visible minorities!! The natives!

Nobody counts the natives. As everyone knows, Canada has no racism or oppressed minorities. Natives are said to be an oppressed minority; therefore, they don’t exist.
