I think they replaced it with double clicking the map point itself.

The bubbles were neat, but I do not think they added much to the experience and may have created problems on some platforms.....

My converse shoes are starting to smell so bad that the people sat near me in this cafe can notice it. I think it is time to buy some new shoes. Or wash these ones. Or just go on stinking up the place.hmmm...

A little Clorox goes a long way and try to dry them in the sun.

And will work on the shoes, too.

Remember this post? Now it is like 175 degrees everyday. My wife is in Dallas on business. 31 straight days of + 100 degree temperature.

"Jump, Jump, Jump," by Rick Derringer, is a really great song.

I wonder what he means by that....

Earthquake anyone? Sis in Piscataway said she felt it & both buildings of her company were calling in, as well as their NY office. Dog is acting a little nuttier than usual too.

Yep, felt it big in SoHo.

mopping up saltwater that spilled out of my aquariums...my building really shook hard!

^^That's incredible. Give you pause, especially in non-earthquake resistant NY buildings? I'm such a frady cat at that point I'd probably pack up & move. Take my chances in a 1 floor in the burbs somewhere. Reports say it was felt as far north as Martha's Vinyard, & as far west as Cincinnati & Columbus OH.

Two things:

1. Its epicenter was in VA.

2. MEDIUM height buildings would feel it the worst (their height make them sway at the right frequency...)

3. I did not feel it, I think I was walking around somewhere (like going up the stairs) and just did not notice it.

And then get wiped out by a tornado in the burbs somewhere.

You can't run from Mother Nature. There is no safe place. Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanism, wildfires, droughts, asteroids, a tree falling on you during a windstorm, and so on.
