...and so he's been NAKED all this time???

Although I moved to my current apartment a year ago, I still have trouble figuring out how the heck to get anywhere I haven't been before. (Thanks, Madison, for being built on an isthmus. That makes for a lot of interesting streets that randomly curve and/or end.)* I also have a thing for finding alternate routes. I look at Google Maps. Several times a day.

The other day I realized that the little yellow guy you drag onto the map when you want to see the street view--the "Pegman"--was wearing clothes.

Really? He needed clothing?

This sudden need for modesty bothered me so much, I went and looked it up...trying to figure out what foolishness it was to put clothes on a 3mm person. That's how I learned that it was actually called the pegman and not "the Google Map Guy." I couldn't find anything about his nakedness, though. And so, fueled by my curmudgeonly determination, I took a screenshot of the thing so I could complain about it online.

That's when I realized there might be a little soccer ball beside the Pegman. He's dressed up for the World Cup!


Whew! I'm relieved it wasn't some moron getting upset by his miniscule nudity and clutching their pearls!

*And for the record, when I flew into Madison a couple weeks ago it looked stunning from the sky on its isthmus. (Not my pic, it's from madison.com...this shows the lakes frozen)
