The gray blob where the Rhone leaves the lake is Geneva, Switzerland.
The yellow pushpins are placed at the synchrotron's eight interaction points.
I work at any of the three red push pins.
I live at the green one.
So for instance, a week ago, I left my green push pin and biked under the airport, over a massive hill called Grand Sacconex, and coasted into the Geneva about as close to the lake/river meeting point as the dark North-South bundle of train tracks you see there. It's called Cornavin. There was a going away party for a Swedish CERN student I'd never met, but it was where everyone was planning to be that night.

There was karaoke in one room...
There was copious alcohol in all the others.
The ride home was the second time I'd ever tackled this hill.
The sight of top of it still brings a smile.
And just as I re-enter the town where I'm living, the sign on this
restaurant nearly made me fall of my bike.
I spent the next Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday recuperating from a cold
(and completing my first major computer coding effort)
in my room.
Pretty damned pleasant place to work.
Outside my window, (NNE) it's mostly other apartment buildings.
I'm going to look for places to live which are less urban.

Very nice. I see you're taking your updating job seriously. I wasn't expecting less of you :)
But I'm still a week behind! Whatever. I'm bored. I'm putting a pineapple in my backpack and going to see the detector in person.
