Jim and Adzel met on a course in micrometrics.
Adzel dials for pipa music.
Humor: Adzel is surprised to be told that he is living in a crime area and comments that he has never been molested. (He is something like a dinosaur.)
Two points of comparison between Adzel and Poul Anderson's and Gordon R. Dickson's character, "Brob":
both can be peaceable because they are physically powerful (see here);
both have adopted the Japanese tea ceremony (see here).
And, of course, Brob's home planet is another Mirkheim.

Kaor, Paul!
Ha! Someone as massive and INTIMIDATING looking as Adzel has little reason to fear burglars and muggers!

I would assume that by Adzel's time, the city of San Francisco has expanded to take in the city of San Jose, CA which is about forty miles south of SF in the present.

Bob,
Thanks! I did notice some connection between SF and San Jose when I googled for info.

As Terry Pratchett commented in one of his books:
"People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, 'Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.'"
