Hiding from Google Earth

A few months ago we got new windows in our house. Good ones: tax-credit eligible, Energy Star, Low-"E" glass, High "Omicron" Glass with see-through capabilities, 75 megahertz computing speed. When the old windows were torn out we also took out, from the bathroom window, shutters that opened horizontally. However, we haven't put the shutters back in to re-cover the new window. Part of the reason we haven't put them back is because they are 100 years old and ugly. The other reason is because I'm lazy.

So, usually, the bathroom window remains uncovered. Yet, when I wish to shower myself with water I most often like to do that unclothed which may go without saying that I feel more comfortable having some kind of blind over the window to conceal my raw state. I will drape a towel over the window. The misses wonders the need to do such. The bathroom is on the second story, so anyone lurking in our backyard would not be able to see my full profile from the ground. The bottom of the window is already higher than waist-height anyway so any neighbors voyeuring from their own second-story perch still probably would be disappointed.

But, still, I don't like getting undressed at night not being able to see past the glare of the glass, not knowing what weirdos are out snooping, and not being certain that any innocent bystander won't see more than he or she bargained for.

My wife is now convinced that I am hiding from Google Earth. Clearly, a satellite is stationed well higher than a two-story house, so looking down into the window will provide the Full Monty. There may have been one or two times where I did not do the towel-veil thing, therefore there is a very small possibility that one of those moments was when the Google satellite was doing its rounds. In conclusion, if you really want to, I'll give you my address. Then log onto Google Earth, and who knows? You just might get lucky.
