In case you ever wanted to blur your house from google street view you can. A little privacy i suppose, its pretty easy. you dont need a reason to do it. This probaly the only thing google lets opt out of which is cool.

Thanks, but I'll pass. Currently, it's just a random house; but if I blurred it, it would stick out like a sore thumb and possibly attract attention.
