An odd bit of stuff - border security hits home

Referring to yesterday's post about our new Constitution Free Zone Looking at something else, I used Google Maps to view our home and saw that the image being displayed was a very old one -- dating about three years ago. I took a look at a building in our town that had been expanded two years ago and the image there was pre-expansion. I went over to Terraserver and same thing was the case:

The two buildings to the left are animal and equipment barns. The building peeking out to the north of the tree is the DaveCave(TM), the long skinny line to the left is a 40' container I use for storage and the little things to the left of it are dairy tanks I will be using for the Cider making. What is missing is a 30X45 steel Quonset hut that was erected two years ago -- that would almost be as big as the DaveCave(TM) but is nowhere to be seen. I do not have earlier images stored to show but I have seen it online before. The border patrol has been fairly active in our area recently -- it is a shame to see companies like Google and Terraserver comply without letting us know that the data is old...
