    OH MY GOD!!!!

    Some people had said it was Nico before, and it sure looks like her, but in every still I've seen from that film she had her hair down. But I did some more digging and found some shots with her hair up, and also with the other two actors. THAT'S IT!

    You are my super-mega-hero forever!

    Awesome.

    I just this second realized that your name is "Uncle Vinny", not "Un-Clevinny", which makes no sense.

    Have your movie-nerd girlfriend watch this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TQ6PYS2Q0I

    (The song is great but nothing to do with the clip).

    It's from a silent film clip (the film is presumably not silent, but the clip I have is) and it is DRIVING ME CRAZY.

    For the uninitiated, you can plug very precise decimalized Lat. and Long. numbers into Google Maps, Latitude first, separated by a comma. Plug 47.6825976,152.969 in and you get Rasshua.

    Shilshole is at approximately longitude -122.40434, depending on what slip you're in.

    Ah, but our friend has left not from downtown but from Shilshole Marina, with a latitude of 47.6825976, which at a longitude of 152.969 has him running aground on the very southern tip of Rasshua.

    I cannot be defeated, Mistah Campbell.

    Pshaw. Seattle should be "Wanda".

    Believe it or not, I don't get paid to pimp them. They don't even know who I am (I leave the gold mask at home when I visit). But it's a great shop. I buy a lot of books there, non-travel ones too -- very small selection but a very good one.

    So, I tried it out, and you're going to have to download a ton of gigantic zipped TIF files (not just seven), extract them, and then view them in a TIF viewer like Photoshop. You need datasets from sector 92 and a couple from 102 covering the very tip. 92B (92B5, 92B6, 92B11, 92B12, 92B13, maybe 92B14); 92C (maybe 92C8, 92C9, 92C10, maybe 92C11, maybe 92C13, maybe 92C14, 92C15, 92C16); 92E (maybe 92E7, 92E8 through 92E10, 92E14 through 92E16); 92F (92F1 through 92F8, maybe 92F10, 92F11 through 92F14, maybe 92F15); 92K (92K3, 92K4, 92K5), 92L (92L1 through 92L8, 92L10 through 92L13) and 102I9 and 102I16. That's 52 sheets! Big island.

    If you can get by with the 1:250,000 topo sheets, that's just the seven downloads (92B, 92C, etc.) The detail should be pretty good on those, enough to cycle by I would think. They certainly show all the paved roads except the streets within the towns.

    Let me know if you need more help downloading these.
