Frank,

I sent you that message mid-afternoon in Bangkok, Thailand. Now, I'm
in Hong Kong and it is NOW a strange hour -- 02:13am. I believe that
is 10:13am the day before in the US West Coast.

Weather is fair and clear in the low 60's. That's a cold spell here.
Cold weather, plenty of Chinese, and no Vanagon in sight.

This is Vanagon List World Weather Report. BenT, reporting live on the
other side of the international dateline.
