We went around Bainbridge Island clockwise. We got to Brownsville on Saturday by 1:30 pm. There wasn't enough air to sail through the channel to Seattle on Sunday. So we motored back.

In this era, Geary and Third were still envisioned as a single linked route, with no hint of the current Central Subway project north of Market. Fillmore seems like a surprising corridor to follow toward Marin County, as hilly as it is.
Narciso traveled from China to be in my wedding. These are the modes of transportation used to get here.
This is another item I transferred from my Metropol. I love looking at this map and it provides a great reference for when I need to look up different countries and time zones.
Google doesn't know where the main airport in Denver is. Apple finds and highlights it first try.
This is not to say Apple Maps has better all around data than Google. But it does show that even as new as they are, Apple maps leads at times over Google even in Google's strongest area - Search.
Also the Apple Maps look slightly better, though it's hard to tell as the zoom level differs. Google Maps changes the zoom region when you zoom in a little tighter and search.
This search result was obtained on 12/13/2012, the day after Google's iOS mapping app was released (although desktop search has the same issue). I'll update when Google fixes their search results.

I had trouble finding background information about this strange section of border between India and Bangladesh. As you can partly tell from the lack of relationship between the rivers, the border here does not seem to be based on geographic features. As far as I can tell from the satellite images, the land here is fairly flat and mostly farm land.
Clearly, the border here is the result of some strange decision making. It is hard to know from a glance which side is India and which side is Bangledesh. My original guess was that it was part of the difficult and tumultuous partition of India into Pakistan, India and Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan). But apparently the complexity originates much earlier when the area was under the rule of two different kings. According to Wikipedia, "The enclaves were part of the high stake card or chess games centuries ago between two regional kings, the Raja of Cooch Behar and the Maharaja of Rangpur."
The specific reasons behind the border's strange path is possible to see in the places where the border creates almost a complete loop in it's already erratic course. When I zoom in on these spots, they seem to encircle a single estate or perhaps, a small village. I'd love to know the specifics of how the border-drawing process unfolded. If anyone knows some of the specifics, please let me know.
