Gert?

(Clueless Brit chiming in here)

Yay!

Lol don't worry bourbon I'm a clueless American, I dont live in Florida so I don't really keep track of hurricanes lol I live in California so the only things I worry about are fires, flash floods and the occasional surprise earthquake XD

Oh man, I think it'd freak me out if I had to keep an alert out like that on the general weather. UK news is mostly consisting of stabbings in London, false promises of summer and Brexit (boo!). I only kind of know whats going on in the US since I have family who emigrated over and twitter keeps it somewhat updated too.

Lol false promises of summer :-)) :-)) :-))

I'm having some major confusion trying to figure out where you are AtA. It's like two states (?? Is that what they're called?) are trying to... hug St. Louis? I don't know, America is weird.

Also, TIL that Springfield exists!

Quick question, what on earth are those badge things on the roads on Google maps? I'm so confused right now.

That is the name of the interstate highway. East/West interstates have even numbered names (I-70 runs through St. Louis) and North/South interstates have odd numbered names (I -70 crosses I-55 in St. Louis). You guys say A15, we use the letter I for interstate. If you follow I-70 east you will run into Ammit somewhere in Indiana.

And, yes, I am in the Missouri St. Louis. The Mississippi river just happens to be the state boundry line as well as the biggest river in the US!

St. Louis is where the Missouri River meets up with the Mississippi river. Thus my other barn name....Confluence.

Bourbon, you should have seen me driving around in Cardiff! Talk about LOST! Wrong side of the road, wrong side of the CAR, twisty tiny narrow streets! EEEK!

We drove up to Caerphilly, to see the castle, but then decided that the car parks were all too far away and we didn't want to walk! (I was walking around on a bad hip)

We had HORRIBLE directions from the airport in Cardiff to the Doctor Who Experience (and then to Salibury for the night), thanks to our Meh Travel agency. We finally made it to Doctor Who 2 hours late (but got in) and ended up driving back and forth twice between Salisbury and Avesbury trying to find our B&B! We did, eventually, manage to get our GPS working, so our drive up to Caernarfon was MUCH simpler, and LOTS prettier!
