I've never been to Los Angeles, but this seems a good time to ask: is that old brain teaser type thing about Las Vegas actually being more west than LA true?

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 14 June 2003 07:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, I think I have that wrong; well anyway it was about some city in Nevada being more west than some big city in California and it was really nonintuitive.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 14 June 2003 07:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Reno is farther west than Los Angeles. This might have changed somewhat as The Sprawl eats it's way through Ventura.

― Jimmy Mod: My theme is DEATH (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Monday, 17 April 2006 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Dan, I was sooo sick the whole time I was in Brevort, probably the sickest I've ever been and for the longest time. I do remember hallucinating the first night the fever hit -- specifically that my sister was a vampire and was bending over my neck to bite/doom me to eternal death RIGHT THAT SECOND but I couldn't move. And there was no snow that year anyway, so we couldn't do any of the skiing we'd planned. I think my whole family ended up bumming around various stores while I alternately shivered/burned/crawled to bathroom for almost the whole week.

For some reason, my greatest preoccupation was that my fever would rise TOO MUCH and brain cells would begin to die and I would end up STUPIDER -- but HOW WOULD I KNOW??

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 17 April 2006 20:11 (twenty years ago)

HAWAII IS FURTHER SOUTH THAN FLORIDA

Well, okay then. I'd forgotten I'd been there until I was well into thinking about westness rather than southness. I was on my way to Pago Pago in American Samoa, which is both wester and souther, but didn't think it counted somehow (having representatives, but not allowed senators).
