Fun With Google...Local
OK, I finally figured it out. When you enter a descriptive term before an address in Google Maps, you're actually using the features of Google Local. Here's a Google Local search for "ontario emperor" ontario california (note that I quoted "ontario emperor"):

So Google is a floor wax AND a dessert topping.

Well, I'm going to sign off now. Part of my family took a trip, and will soon be arriving at Los Angeles Airport at 1 World Way, Los Angeles CA 90045. I need to get home before they do.

P.S. Just to anger Rita Moreno of Arte, I performed this search.

I actually tried Estphania and Cleveland Ohio and it didn't work. But it looks like you can be Googled geographically.

(Reminder to self: apparently Johnnie Cochran transferred from civil law to criminal law. Ask how hard that is.)

I previously raised the question about whether Interference Inc. was prompt in letting the authorities know that the so-called bombs in Boston weren't bombs. Now a new question has been raised - was Peter Berdovsky prompt in letting Interference Inc. know that the guerilla marketing campaign had gone sour? And should he have informed the on-scene officers that there was nothing to worry about? The issue was raised because Berdovsky videotaped police at a (supposed) bomb site.
