Let me pose a slightly different question. Its 10am

according to F'
In what city does F' say his breakfast occured?
According to SR, F' _always_ (at and after the occurrence of
breakfast) considers breakfast to have occurred wherever F' (the
origin of F') happens to be at the time.
I infer from what you say above that F' considers breakfast
since his origin was in LA at the time of breakfast. n'estpas? Or have I
misinterpreted what you say?
If that were the case, F' would not measure zero distance between
breakfast and lunch at the time of lunch. SR definitely says
that F' will measure zero distance between the two, in the example I
posed. F' makes the measurement of the distance between breakfast and
lunch at the time of lunch. At that time, he places one end
of his tape
measure at the place he considers breakfast to have occurred (his
origin), and the other end at the place he considers lunch to
occur (his
origin). Therefore, he determines that there is zero distance between
breakfast and lunch.
