Apparently some pernicious low-lying clouds were passing over my hometown of Duncan, BC when the satellite photos used by Google maps were taken, because the whole town is covered in what looks like a white film, regardless of zoom level:
I discovered this when checking out a news story about a small plane crash on a golf course near the Cassidy airport south of Nanaimo. Whenever I check something on Google maps I always end up checking other places. I think Google wants this to happen because in some way they monetize this. Perhaps I should be booking a hotel on the island right now or something.
