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

Heard about the earthquake in Northern California and seem to remember you're in that neighbourhood...

Everything OK?

Thanks for thinking of me Everything's OK here--Napa's 340 miles away (California's *long*)

Ok, so my US geography's not too good!

Hang on a minute? It's got to be one in the morning over there? Go to Bed girl!!!

Well, Napa *is* considered northern California--and most Californians have no clue where Crescent City is! Heck, most people seem to think that the northern California border is near the Bay Area (San Francisco and the like--including Napa) when it's 19 miles north of me.

And *now* it's 1am

(Now that I think about it, I'm impressed! We don't talk much, and you not only remembered where I am, vaguely, but you actually know the time difference!)

(You're in France, right? So you're 9 hours ahead of me.)

I remembered you posting something about the Japanese Tsunami reaching your town a few years ago - which is why I remembered where you were...

And as to the time difference - I regularly play a particular on-line war-game which is run by a californian company, and they insist on posting notices about server downtimes and events in Pacific Time - so I'm always having to do the conversion...

Just a combination of a mind full of useless information and a geekish coincidence

Fair 'nuff.
