It is easy to understand that Google would make an oversight and not have an acceptable procedure for relocating incorrectly placed photos. It is also easy to see how Google could create a system that makes it too likely for users to accidentally locate their pictures here at The Center, as obviously happened here.

The problem is that here it is more than three months later, and there is still no resolution in sight.

TBurns2010 is right---they just don't care.

It is one of my favorite movies. You simply must see it (the original 1955 version, not the terrible recent remake with Tom Hanks). The movie itself is hysterical, with Alec Guinness playing a criminal mastermind whose ingenious robbery plan is completely foiled by the sweet and innocent old lady, whose house his gang intends as a hideout (Peter Sellers makes his debut in this movie). But aside from the plot, I also enjoy the movie for the untypical London scenes of sooty train switching yards and dingy streets clogged with traffic.

This is the Mary Surratt House in Surrattsville, MD. Early in the morning of April 15, 1865, John Wilkes Booth and David Herold stopped here after Booth shot Abraham Lincoln. Mary Surratt's son was a friend of Booth and was in on the conspiracy to assassinate the President. Mary Surratt herself was ultimately hung for for being a co-conspirator in the assassination plot, although there is some controversy over whether she was actually involved.

This is a secluded street along my walk to the bus stop in Bellevue, looking West towards 92nd Street. It was pretty dark and spooky walking back home along here after dark.

This is the view of the Seattle Skyline along the route I used to walk to the bus stop when I lived in Bellevue. The Space Needle is actually visible in this photo, although it is just a slightly blueish spec on the horizon in the exact center of the photo. The whitish skyscraper slightly to the left of center on the horizon is the Bank of America building.
