Randy I think that also assumes that the earth's rotation will also stop at some time during the next decade forcing us all to migrate to the sunny side of the planet. Failing that happening then with 18 hours at least (Tokyo to US West coast) of time zones (and that doesnt take into account places like Hawaii and NZ) haveing any regular or long time real time sessions is in my view impractical as someone has to do it in the middle of the night then.
