Sometimes I worry about Google Maps

I was talking to a friend in Columbus, Ohio, and asked whether he'd been affected by the tornadoes in Kansas, because I thought the middle of America was all one place.

To drive from Columbus, Ohio to Greensburg, Kansas is 1541 kilometres; almost exactly the same distance as to drive from Cambridge to Vienna. People rarely ask me whether my house is dry when they've heard that the Danube's flooded in Austria.

This is because, for some reason, I thought you lived in Somerset.

Ah yes, Somerset, famous for its mountain ranges and blizzards!
