Hi Ed. Blame it on the International Dateline. As I write this it's Friday in North America and Saturday in NZ. Tomorrow starts to the west of us and takes more than a half day to roll around our way. When I interviewed Gavin for the Feb. 15 show, it was 3:00 PM Friday, Toronto time, and 9:00 AM Saturday Wellington, NZ time. Still have trouble wrapping my head around this stuff.

If Hawaii is behind me, how can New Zealand be ahead of me? Is not NZ behind Hawaii? Must be a date line in there somewhere. Look at it this way, the sun comes up in the East and it comes up later for them than for the Californians. He's gotta be behind me except for that artificial man-made thing called a calendar. >...about 15 hours from your time zone. Sounds like you actually know about this stuff. What if I turned my watch ahead, would that make me in front? > You can bet Gavin Sowry will be on to this real soon. I miss him already. Does he have some photos we could post? How about that Railmaster Exports fellow? John Agnew is his name. Had lunch once with him in Auckland years ago. His wife has an extensive doll collection. Glass cases all over the place. Makes us train guys look pale in comparison with only two walls full of train display shelving. > Cheers > Jim Martin There you go with that Brit pub slang again. I thought it was supposed to be "Cheers, eh?" But what do I know, I live in California. Cheers to you to....Ed L., S Sig Coordinator, www.sscale.org
