Up, Over, or Down?

WARNING - This post is not triathlon related.  Scary, I know, but I bet you can deal with it.

Living in Tex-ass, I usually tell foreigners people in other places to "come down" when they visit.  This is because they are usually above me on a north-oriented map.  I was just emailing a guy in San Antonio about coming down and realized he actually lives slightly below and to the west of me, lattitudenally.  To be geographically correct, I went back and changed my wording to "come over" instead.  Yes, I'm a geogeek.

Do you take the other person's planetary position in account when asking them to come over, down, or up?  What do you say?

All the time. It drives me crazy when I understand what the person means when they say "come down to our house" when they live above me.

Most of the time I go with the Bob Barker approach, “Come on Down”. But I do try to say it right on the rare chance that I think about it. For me saying ‘Come on Down’ is more habit.

Well, who and the heck decided what is up or down. Last I looked we live on what is pretty much a sphere. All downs will eventfully get you to where you need to go, just the long way.
