The internet is wonderful!
Never underestimate the power of a phone call though.
Selfishly this gives me a chance to tell a funny story. Trying to contact a friend years back I had to keep calling the jail. They kept hanging up on me. You see, in order to look up an inmate they had to search by the first 3 letters of a last name. In the case of my friend, those letters are P-O-T.
>It's me again - DON'T HANG UP! I'm dead serious - please search your computer for POT.
>>.....oh well look at that, he is here!
