h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello,
Somewhere in the mid western United States lies a small unregarded city known as Davenport, Iowa. Davenport is not known for much except pig farms, corn fields and being along side a major river. I wouldn't think much about either except it is the place I call Home. We have very cold winters that involve snow and ice in large quantities and hot summers that involve the odor of fertilizer. Most of my fellow Iowans are decent, hard working people who find the rest of the world a bit disconcerting. I find the rest of the world downright perplexing.

I hope in joining this forum that I might learn a bit more about people and places that aren't Iowan. Who knows? Maybe the world out there is less perplexing that it looks.

Hi Diselbear

I found your message on the Front Page in the lsit of msot recent messages. I'm sure you don't mind if I drop in.

I'm Tavaron and I live in Austria (that's in central Europe, read A87793915 if you want to know more ).
We have people from all over the globe here on h2g2, but most still seem to be from the UK.

I think there should be a message for you in your Personal Space from an ACE soon. The ACEs are people who help those who are new to h2g2 to find their way around. They appreciate it if you answer to their message.

Until then I would recommend visiting the Ask h2g2 forum at A148907 (you also get there through the Front Page or by clicking on 'Forums' in your menu bar at the top of the screen). It's the most busy place here and I'm sure you will find a conversation that you may want to join. Don't hesitate to do so, they are open to everybody!
