Again both Saturday and Sunday but we're going to move it back 1 hour. Someone was asking for 2 hours but I want to keep the main slot focused. You're certainly welcome to come early and/or stay late though. So it's going to be: 5-6pm West Coast (California in case you can't remember any states out there) 6-7pm Mountain (Denver, Colorado) 7-8pm Central (Chicago. Illinois) 8-9pm East Coast (New York, let's see, where is that again?) Link below and as always on the About page on the right hand side.

To be clear, I say someone was asking for 2 hours. They were suggesting the timeslot be longer, not the start time be adjusted by 2 hours. As I say no firm limits on time but let's figure on that one hour being when we all congregate.

Also Naracoorte, home town of Jess Stenson, our best marathon runner who recently won the Commonwealth Games gold medal in Birmingham in the unshabby time of 2:27:31.

Is Kenya no longer in the Commonwealth? Tanzania? While 2:27 certainly isn't shabby, it's nowhere near (elite) world-class, either. If you had asked me out of the blue what time would it take to win, I would have guessed something like 2:05-2:10, not knowing who all was in it.

Um, Jess is female and it's world class in terms of women's championship races. FYI the men's winner from Uganda ran just over 2:11 from memory, and that's after taking a wrong turn near the end. Kenya's in the Commonwealth and was there.

Getting back to the question from the barman at the Oodnadatta pub, what time of the four US zones listed above is "freecell time", because we are currently 13.5 hours ahead of it?

Sorry I didn't recognize Stenson's name. Don't keep up with it as much as I used to, especially the wimmens'. So yeah, 2:27 is fairly "unshabby". Almost mentioned Uganda, too, as I figured they were still in the Commonwealth.

Thanks joey, so that's immediately after the Masters finishes, like right now! TN - she got married. She was Jessica Trengove and represented Australia in the Olympics (firstly in London 2012, then Rio 2016), World Athletics Champs and Commonwealth Games. Now has a gold and two bronze medals, all from the CG.

That was a HUUUUGE deal - and still is. But I had forgotten that last part. We (or at least *I* discussed that earlier in one of the science threads). And "Trengove" I remember, but only vaguely, to be honest.

Probably won't be a large turnout for Saturday in California. The 49er game starts at 4PM California time. Will log in after the game and also try for Sunday. So far I have only seen 3 logins that I am recognize from YEARS past.

I'm just down the road. Tell her to meet me at that bar at 92nd Street and Shea. I know a couple of guys with great birthday suits. Then, you can chat all you want.
