By panning and zooming, I found where I live! The resolution is pretty bad once you zoom in closer than about 50 km, but if you can find where you live, post a link to the final image.
Clovis is the brighter of the two dots near the center of the map. Cannon AFB is the lesser light just to the left, while Portales is the one just below the pair. The two bright concentrations to the right are Amarillo (above) and Lubbock (Below) Texas, each of which is approximately 100 miles away from here.

Oh, that simplifies things a lot! They don't even have where I live in their database. If you look carefully, you'll notice that they have only a tiny fraction of the Earth's surface mapped. If you can find your house, good for you, but I can't even find the town I live in. Why? It's not in their map files.

Well, not only does Terraserver STILL not have anything south of San Jose and north of Santa Cruz, but now I cant' even *FIND* San Jose, they're SO cut back on their maps...
